This Rosewood Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Will Engage
The Om has a history - it was one of the 7 beauties I built all at one time before I built the SoHo guitars. It is made of old growth Brazilian Rosewood. This was the first design of a tall bridge and saddle to change the overall tonality of a flattop. The customer was so pleased with the way this guitar turned out. The 7 Beauties were modeled after one of D’Acquisto’s last guitars called the Solo where his headstock had two open slots. I decided to do one instead, in memory of him.
