Re: OM Cutaway
Hi Greg,
Thanks, No it's ABS I hate ebony as a Binding, it's hard to bend, get in the top wood when you sand and is just generally unpleasant to use, so ABS gives the same look , but without the headaches.

Hi Paul,
Well, the ABS looks great! So is the veneer on the back of the headplate ABS too? It looks good whatever it is!

Hi Greg,
No that's the real thing!.
I just have an aversion to Ebony binding., Otherwise I always use timber.

What a great looking guitar - I am a great fan of florentine cutaways.
Re: OM Cutaway
There's a lot to like about this one Paul, very clean and tidy on the inside as well.
