The guitar is designed after the OM style introduced by the C.F. Martin Company. The top is Sitka Spruce from Haida Gwaii. The back and sides are Black Locust, one of the hardest and densest of North American woods, and difficult to find. The result is a small-bodied guitar with remarkable projection. Tapered parabolic bracing produces a well-balanced sound. Ebony fretboard and bridge, "Quilted" Bigleaf Maple trims, and Gotoh tuners. Hand crafted in Ladysmith.
