• Serial Number:... 0803-01 circa 2001
• Description:... This is one of those guitars where I'm sure OM stands for Oh Mamma.... this guitar sounds great! Not only is this guitar super comfortable to play with its compact OM body size and low profile neck profile but it is as light as a feather! Big leaf maple is a dense hard wood which is often described as bright sounding because it has fewer overtones than other medium density woods and has a quicker note decay. However, maple does have a very focused and dominate note fundamental with a treble sparkle that really cuts through a mix making it a preferred tone wood for live performance. Some players find that maple guitars are overly bright and lack bass response but that is certainly not the case with this guitar. There is probably more tight and defined bass response on this guitar than any other maple instrument that I have heard. The treble sparkle and laser beam like note fundamental is still there but the lower midrange and bass provide extra girth to the overall sound making this an exceptional sounding guitar for use in solo or band settings. As always the simple but elegant design aesthetic from G.W. Barry makes this guitar as appealing visual as it is tonally!
• Neck:... Mahogany neck, ebony fretboard, 1 3/4" bone nut, 25.5" scale length, low profile neck shape.
• Frets:... Minor wear mostly on the high b and e strings in first position.
• Body:... OM body with Sitka spruce top and Big Leaf maple sides and back, spruce body binding.
• Finish:... Overall excellent condition with only a few minor pick scratches and scuffs on the top.

• Description:... Roberto Balestrero has been hand building acoustic instruments since 1988. He spent 13 years in Brazil making Brazilian, conventional and custom instruments and is now based in the US where he continues to build flat top steel string guitars. This dreadnought style guitar features a lovely set of Brazilian rosewood on the sides and back, a Sitka spruce top, mahogany and maple neck, ebony fretboard and bridge. The Brazilian rosewood has some great figured grain lines and dark chocolate hues. This guitar has a deep and full bass response, articulate midrange, crisp trebles and a strong note fundamental. The dynamic range on this instrument is really responsive and there is lots of headroom. This guitar sounds best when it is aggressively flat picked and strummed however it does produce some more subtle nuances for fingerstyle playing!
• Neck:... Three piece mahogany/maple/mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, flame maple binding, 1 3/4" bone nut, 25.4" scale length, 16" neck radius, low profile neck shape, "closed bud" fingerboard inlay.

• Serial Number:... 0803-01 circa 2001
• Description:... This is one of those guitars where I'm sure OM stands for Oh Mamma.... this guitar sounds great! Not only is this guitar super comfortable to play with its compact OM body size and low profile neck profile but it is as light as a feather! Big leaf maple is a dense hard wood which is often described as bright sounding because it has fewer overtones than other medium density woods and has a quicker note decay. However, maple does have a very focused and dominate note fundamental with a treble sparkle that really cuts through a mix making it a preferred tone wood for live performance. Some players find that maple guitars are overly bright and lack bass response but that is certainly not the case with this guitar. There is probably more tight and defined bass response on this guitar than any other maple instrument that I have heard. The treble sparkle and laser beam like note fundamental is still there but the lower midrange and bass provide extra girth to the overall sound making this an exceptional sounding guitar for use in solo or band settings. As always the simple but elegant design aesthetic from G.W. Barry makes this guitar as appealing visual as it is tonally!
• Neck:... Mahogany neck, ebony fretboard, 1 3/4" bone nut, 25.5" scale length, low profile neck shape.
• Frets:... Minor wear mostly on the high b and e strings in first position.

• Serial Number:... 240108 circa 2008
• Description:... This "L-00" style flat top from luthier Marc Beneteau is an example of extremely high quality craftsmanship and beautifully understated design sense! This small body features an Engelmann spruce top, Hawaiian Koa sides and back, Honduran mahogany neck, blood wood binding and a delicious honey burst finish. Marc has kept the appointments simple allowing the color and grain of the koa and the honey burst top to create a unifying theme. The blood wood binding provided a bold outline but never distracts the eye and I think it really accentuates the overall look of the guitar. The koa has a nice mahogany like midrange presence with some high end sizzle similar to maple. Pairing  koa with the engelmann top provides a mature sound with a midrange that is a little richer than sitka spruce. This creates a very pleasing tone that works really well for fingerstyle playing and light to medium strumming. This guitar sounds as sweet as the honey burst top looks!
