Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: The guitar required a full adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. A majority of frets showed evidence of play wear. As such, the frets were leveled, recrowned, and polished back to a near mint state.. No further work was required.
Talk about LOUD! This is a stellar, vintage inspired OMS acoustic with ITALIN SPRUCE and Mahogany construction, and it sounds absolutely incredible, with plenty of volume to boot. Transparent and bassy in all the right ways but thanks to the Mahogany, absolutely crystal clear. There is nothing left to chance, and thanks to our luthier's fret work and setup work it plays like a dream! Super dynamic and percussive (thanks to a longer neck and thusly more string tension) this is a really interesting guitar with a lot to like!
Modern guitars were not simply created out of thin air in the 1930s. They evolved from the instruments that preceded them, bearing improvements such as longer necks, solid head stocks, larger bodies, higher string tension, greater volume and superior presence. Our Victorian model is a tip of the hat to an elegant, long lost pre-pre-war aesthetic that deserved to survive into the modern era, featuring half-herringbone (also know as “rope”) purfling, Ivoroid binding and a once-common pyramid bridge.
