Bown OM Lutz/Ziricote ** SOLD **
Hello AGF'ers !
I am selling my Bown OM guitar that I picked up last year from Guitar Gal. If you haven't heard of Ralph Bown, I suggest you look him up! Those in the know lust after these. It is Lutz spruce over Ziricote and a fantastic all around instrument. It can do just about anything you ask of it. A stunning sounding guitar with superb workmanship. Excellent +++/near mint condition. I would be keeping this guitar, but I over extended myself in a few recent purchases so, sadly, I'm having to let go of a few treasured instruments. When's the next time I'm gonna get a chance at another Bown ?!  Anyway, the specs are Frets to Body: 14 Scale Length: 25.4" Nut Width: 1 3/4" Saddle Spacing: 2 1/4" From GuitarGal 2008 Bown OM Guitar Figured Ziricote back & sides Lutz Spruce top New Zealand Paua Abalone rosette - brilliantly colored Tortoiseshell colored Tortis pickguard Ebony fretboard, bound in ebony Ebony bridge with Ebony bridge pins Slotted diamond & square MOP fingerboard inlays Script headstock logo Gold Waverly tuning machines Wooden bindings with 5 ply top purflings, and single back & side purfling lines SN 227 This is a very fine instrument from one of UK's top luthiers Ralph Bown's guitars are known for their pure tone, and rich overall flavor Near Mint condition Hiscox Lite Flight case included

I once owned this guitar. It is an excellent all round guitar with probably the most warmth in its tonal profile of any guitar tbat i have ever owned.

I also owned that guitar and would never have sold it had I not had the opportunity to buy a month old Brazilian Bown OM. It’s a very fine guitar that is a joy to play and looks great too.
Someone should grab this rare chance to own a world class instrument.

Bump - had two people offer to buy this outright immediately (including a well known name on AGF), but alas, they did not follow through...
so here we are, a rare beautiful and great sounding guitar still available !

As I wrote previously, I would still own this guitar if I’d not had the opportunity to buy a Brazilian Bown OM. I kept it for a another year before reluctantly letting it go. It’s a superb instrument with a balanced sound that reminds me of a piano. Impeccable finish, easy to play, I remember the first chord I played on it in Ralph’s workshop, E major. WOW! I was hooked. At that point it wasn’t for sale but I said that I would be very interested if it was. Two days later I got the call and was back at Ralph’s within 90 minutes, it’s a 75 mile drive!
Somebody will be very happy to own this great guitar.
