Default Kraus guitars OM Brazilian rosewood, red spruce.

My latest traditional series OM. Brazilian rosewood back and sides, red spruce top and bracing, curley maple bindings, abalone rosette, ebony fret board and bridge.
I'll be adding more detail photos as I have a chance to take them.

Yeah, what Tim said! The pics loaded up quite large at first, so I got a close look at the fretboard binding. Those miters (by the sound hole) are realllly good. That’s a difficult enough task, but to do it so well in an unforgiving wood like maple is all the more impressive. Kudos!

Lovely guitar! From my experience with a Kraus OM, I'm sure it's balanced and responsive and will make the new owner very happy.

Looks like a very wonderful guitar Bill. Adi over BRW, doesn't get much better than that!

Default New photos added

Here are a few more photos of the most recent OM. The headstock inlay design was by customer request.
