Love the look of this guitar. Simple but not simple at all. And that dark Blackwood... beautiful.

Do u have a sound clip of this one or a similar build? Would be interested to hear how it sounds.

I have to agree with Peter, the restrained aesthetic really draws your eye to all the lovely curves on it.

The guitar has Otways Blackwood back and sides, the sides are double sides, the back has a 3 meter radius and ladder bracing, the carved top is X braced Huon pine with Schaller Oyster piezo installed. Blackwood neck with Bubinga fretboard, Bubinga bridge and tailpiece.
Very happy with the performance of this, the huge volume is partly due to the radius back and i think also to the careful graduating of the Huon Pine

Thanks for looking!
Cheers
Rod.
