Congratulations. No better way to hit the big ‘4’ in style. I wish for such an experience myself.
I’ve got 2 questions. How deep is the depth of the deep OM? Are those Schertlers?

Howdy!
Lower bout widest is 4.5" Upper bout is right at 4" Yes, they are gold schertlers with the buttons replaced with ebony schertler buttons pulled off another set that got customs. This is my first time to have them on a guitar and they are amazing. Smooth, precise, and solid feeling. The aesthetic is a little modern for my taste, but the function is as good as any I've felt. -john
