David, that one is beautiful, well they all are actually!
How's it sound?

Ps--how's the 000 mahogany coming along?

For the strumming singer, or smaller person, who doesn't need access to the upper frets, the OM-D specs give a slightly less deep body for comfort.
Other woods to mention are the Padauk fretboard and bridge, Rosewood binding, Ebony headplate and Honduras Mahogany neck. Back & end wedge & bridge pins are Rosewood. Waverly machines.

For sale and ready to ship. $4000. including case. Shipping extra.

The guitar is lightly built for a Dred, so it rings and has a very active body. It is well balanced volume-wise, tone is what you would expect for a Dred, with a bit more brightness. Very easy to hold and play, excellent for the strumming singer.

It sits in its building slot, the repairs in the shop have been a bit over-welming this Fall.
Thanks Cat!

Now I can finally return to a bit of work on my building.
