I can also get one with a deep body option as well as a spruce top. I will have some sound/vid samples to check out soon that I can share but figured I would post the question while I’m waiting.
What say you

Hi Matthew
Rosewood/Cedar is one of my favorite 2 combinations. The other is Mahogany Cedar. I've played amazing versions of both (my 26 yr old Olson Dreadnought EIR/Cedar which is my main guitar). The best OM sized Cedar top I've played was a Bashkin Honduran Mahogany/Cedar.
If I'd been rich enough, I would have had one built…I already own a Myrtlewood/Spruce Bashkin OM.
Handbuilt (solo built, boutique built) are less of a toss-up, but I'm still a try before buy kind of guy when it comes to builders I don't know, and sizes and wood combos I don't know.
