A beautiful custom-ordered OM-C from Ohio luthier Jeff Jewitt! We've
seen the special sinker mahogany Jeff used on this guitar before, on
another OM we sold last year. Recovered from the Hudson River, evidence
would suggest it came from a sawmill that operated during the 1800s and
early 1900s called Ichabod T. Williams & Sons. They not only
supplied mahogany to furniture makers all over the US, but receipts from
Martin's archives show they supplied much of the mahogany used for
their "Golden Era" guitars made in the 1930s!Paired with this magical
mahogany is what Jeff declares the cleanest, silkiest set of AAA-grade
Swiss spruce he's used. The combination of tonewoods is perfect. Sweet
and clean, with a nice bite in the bass and warm mids to round it out,
this is a fingerstylist's dream mahogany guitar. The carefully shaped
neck has a soft V up to the 7th fret, flattening to a C shape beyond,
making it comfortable for many left hand approaches. Ziricote for the
fretboard and bridge, Jeff's "cat eye" inlay, and the spalted maple
rosette and end graft are all perfectly complementary.TKL HSC included.
