Default Buendia OM Build

After about a year and a half wait, my number has come up and I’m so excited to have Leo Buendia building my dream guitar. During my stretch on Leo’s list I’ve much enjoyed the generous sharing of those who were a little quicker to join the queue. So it is my hope to return the favor for those in waiting or anyone who may find interest Leo’s work.

-Robert

OM
Soundboard, German Spruce
Top braces, Sitka spruce
Back and sides, Brazilian Rosewood
Back Braces, Mahogany
Rosette, Amboyna Burl and Ebony with black/white purfling
Binding, Ebony
Interrupt Backstrip
Bridge, hand carved Brazilian Rosewood
Saddle, 2 1/4” string spacing Compensated Bone
14th-fret ebony fingerboard
Nut, 1 3/4” width Scalloped and compensated bone
Neck, Honduran mahogany
Headcap veneer, Brazilian Rosewood
Back of Headcap veneer, Ebony
