Thank you Bill, you may not know it, but we met at woodstock, you let me take one of your beauties out into the tent when it was raining...I felt so bad, but ran as fast as I could!!!! I wish I would have had a chance to check it out in better circumstances!

I have a Ziricote with cedar linings and I swear that thing smells like a chocolate cigar, it is really a nice addition when playing!!!!

I went to Dave's Guitar Shop yesterday and played a bunch of OMs - mostly Collings and Martins - and my two Kinnaird OMs smoked all of them, IMHO........  Enjoy the ride! |
Thanks Jim! It was the sound of your recording that really pushed me from the FS model to the deep bodied OM. I have never heard a bad work about them...I think it must be right in the sweet spot!!!

Razo 19 is coming along beautifully--a real joy to pick up and play...

Yes when I saw the figure and color of that it seemed perfect. It will look good with the rosette, but we are using Celebes Ebony for binding and there is some color in that which should work really well next to this purfling also! Great news about the Razo, I am so glad you love it!
