WTB: OM with Macassar Ebony Tone Wood
Looking for the right OM with Macassar Ebony back/sides. Would prefer short scale with either 1 3/4" or 1 11/16" nut width and some spruce variety top vs anything else. But will consider whatever is out there. Whatcha got?
Thanks, Rob [email protected] |
Here is a phenomenal Goodall GC in Macassar Ebony and with an Engelmann top. 15 inch lower bout like an OM - https://www.acousticcentre.com.au/co...coustic-guitar
I bought this new from Danny Brevard in East Texas back when he had the largest Goodall dealership in the US. I chose this one after trying about a dozen Goodalls in his showroom (it was a memorable afternoon!). I brought it back to Australia and eventually sold it to a friend who is now trying to sell it on consignment. PM me if you want to know any more. Col |
What a beauty! Would that it was in this hemisphere. Are there CITES restrictions with this tonewood? I've sent a note to the retailer looking for more info re: shipping, etc. Thanks for the heads up! Rob

Emailed the guys at the Acoustic Center and they won't ship internationally. What a drag!
|
There's some beautiful US based Goodall Macassars on Reverb, as well as an OM once owned by Tommy Emmanuel for only $3500.

I found one Goodall. and it's the same model as the one in AU. but in player condition. Not seeing anything associated with T.E. Maybe a link? Thx

Ah, I see you mentioned spruce as well, this other one is cedar https://reverb.com/item/19363225-goo...2017-near-mint
These are the others: https://reverb.com/item/18786541-goo...sar-ebony-2007 https://reverb.com/item/4381450-tomm...with-hard-case The TM guitar is somewhat beat up, but cool nonetheless. This Santa Cruz looks rather nice - https://reverb.com/item/20224175-san...2013-near-mint |
Thanks for taking the time to supply the links. That Santa Cruz is what got me started on this search. It's a contender. I really like the look of the Goodall as well but am surprised at the price relative to the condition. There's a stunning Huss & Dalton on Reverb as well but I can't justify a $8K guitar at the moment! Again, thanks!

Saw this one on Reverb which might be a contender.

Still looking. The one in Australia didn't pan out. There's a similar one here in the U.S. but it's got a bit more mojo than the price reflects so I'm on the fence about it.

Yes, I did and they counteroffered. The discount was good but not good enough to get past the wear on the back.
