MichaudMade OM-R Acoustic - Flamed Brazilian Rosewood!!
Hey guys,
Long time no post but I'm super excited to be posting this thread. I recently commissioned an acoustic build recently from Joel Michaud of MichaudMade (http://www.michaudmade.com/). Joel's a luthier out of Calgary, Alberta here in Canada. What I'm most excited about this build is a piece of Flamed Brazilian Rosewood we'll be using. Joel's had 2 other sister sets of this wood and they've made for amazing acoustics in both tone and visuals! There's going to be a ton of appointments including an armest but I'll leave those details closer to when the build fully starts. I'll post updates as I get them over the next while. It's been awhile since I got a new build, after getting a Paragon and Cornerstone, a lot of my acoustic needs were met but I've wanted to own a Braz R/W based guitar for a long while. We're going to be building an OM-R which is his take on a traditional OM sized-acoustic. We'll be using a creamy European Spruce to match with the Braz RW. Some early pics- Here's the set of Braz I'm getting: Here's one of the sister sets made from this same Brazilian RW:

Wow!
That is some nice looking Brazilian rosewood! I am so jealous.
I can't wait to see how the guitar comes out. I really like Joel's aesthetics.

Beautiful curl in that set. The grain in those sides takes quite a turn.
