A not too fancy IRW/Sitka OM. I like to play them.

And just to throw the curve ball, it might be a age-checked, slightly banged-up 1960 ES-175D, all original. Oops. Already have one of those too.

I guess I am a happy guy!

A few days ago i received a couple of Shane's Lutz, and one of them has a terrific tap tone.  I also have a nice set of cypress set aside for it and will build a killer classical () in the following months.  I'll bind it with some extremelly dark purple IRW and bloodwood purfling. Matching segmented rosette.

I'd commission Julius Borges to build me an OM-18 style with bar frets and French polish finish, just like the one he sold to Peter Mulvey way back when....
