Classic OM vibe going on there. I especially like the art deco profile on the headstock that also shows up in the bridge shape. Nice effect - but not over the top decoration.

That's nice, the engleman dose'nt look creamy like the ones I have in stock. It looks quite aged which I like.
Is it the finish used or just the lighting taken when photographed, interesting.
cheers wayne . . .

The sycamore didn't t colour as much as i'd hoped, ah next time
