Hello folks...I have three guitars that were built on spec, to show at Tom B'sox B.I.G. celebration. Now that the party is over, I'm offering them for sale. If you find yourself interested in one of them, ask me and I can point you in the direction of a number of people who played them at the show, and can offer their impression of each of them.
The first guitar is my "Luna" model. It has dark, beautifully-figured old-growth East Indian Rosewood back, sides & rear head plate; a Mastergrade Sitka Spruce top; an old-growth one-piece Honduran Mahogany neck; abundant flamed-Koa appointments and trim; an arm bevel; bound sound port and sound hole; plus a bound & purfled fretboard and front head plate veneer.
The "Luna" model is my version of the Modern OM...similar in profile to the Taylor Grand Concert, but with a deeper body. It has a 15 3/8" wide lower bout, and isn't too big...but also not too small. It has lots of power and presence, a dynamic range, and is amazingly versatile. You can find details and specs below, but first lets take a look at a few photos of this Luna. Thanks for looking.
