It's the best when a client designs such a classy instrument that you just can't wait to show it off. Such is the case with this Brazilian rosewood Orchestra Model with a Colorado blue spruce soundboard. Brazilian rw fingerboard, bridge, and landscape figure headplate. Flame Koa bindings really set off the rosewood. The blue spruce gives off a nice open tone and Brazilian provides it's trademark richness and complexity. I make my OM a bit deeper to bring out more bass, but otherwise it is very traditionally designed with light pre-war inspired bracing. A great fingerstyle guitar, I love this thing.
