A wee clip of my most recent rosewood & sitka O.M... Newly strung up and being tested by professional finger style guitarist Steve Hicks...

Great looking and sounding guitar Rob, and boy Steve is one fine picker.

(p.s. fixed ur youtube link)

Cheers

Very nice looking OM Rob. The wood combination is classic and really works well. What did you use for the bindings - they really set it off nicely? Is it koa, or mahogany, or something more indigenous to the Scotland? It sounds grand too!
cheers

Thanks Kim & Mark, the bindings are a lighter coloured rosewood, the binding on the bass side of the heel was darker and blended in to the back of the guitar, it looked a bit strange but i quite liked it, thanks for your comments guys...

Hi Rob,
fantastic looking and sounding Om love the rosette ,just the correct amount of "Bling"
I love that classic look ,Im trying something a bit different with my Nos 3 and only hope it comes out a tenth as good as this

Cheers Dave, this is my build number 3 too, i do like the classic look but i also admire some of the craftmanship and innovative ideas some luthiers put into there guitars nowadays, but most important for me is 1= Tone...2= playability...3= construction...4=aesthetics... now all i have to do is learn this,lol...
