Thank you Russ! The walnut guitar is my 00 shape with a 14,5 inch lower bout. It is smaller than the maple OM (15 inch) next to it but on the pic it looks the same size or bigger.

Thank you! I am in love with the walnut too. The good thing is, I have two more sets of it!

I heard that Wassily Kandinsky just copied everything of his brother Wissily?! Am I wrong? Though thank you for recognizing this mistake!

Hey guys, it's been a while since my last update and I already accomplished the first guitar.

So here are the final pics of the maple OM!

Very elegant guitar. I like the rosette much more than I expected to, to be honest: it coordinates beautifully with the other details and the overall design. I'm looking forward to seeing the other two completed!

These look great! I bet the Wenge MD is a canon. It just look powerful to me, as well as elegant.

Thank you Mike! You are right, the MD is a canon. But it still sounds well balanced.

For the benefit of those on the forum who haven't yet had the highly pleasurable experience of playing a Spohn guitar, I played the Maple OM and the Walnut 00 that were both at Max's first show last week at the Guitar Summit in Germany, I can report they are both truly fantastic instruments and I highly recommend them.
I was also at the Holy Grail guitar show earlier in the year and played some truly epic instruments, Max's guitars are right in there. Truly killer sound, really excellent detailed workmanship all over the instrument, and one of those guitars you just don't want to put down. what more could you ask for!

I am glad that you enjoyed playing my guitars.
