Lovely - unsurprisingly, it reminds me of the Buendia MD "The Tree" I played earlier this year.

Cheers,
Steve

Aha...you must have played the one from Berlin/TNAG? It had me considering a MD for a while. But I found the recording of the OM to me sounded just a bit more apealing than a MD recorded, and I do a bit of recording, so OM it was at the end. But live I guess it’s different story...now were’s my phone..Leo..that MD was..


Again, Thank you all for nice comments on Leo’s work.

French polish is a must on the carved rosette. Tuners install, and pics with French polish back on Leos bench. EVO frets.

That is a serious work of art. I played a Tree/red spruce OM of Leo's a couple of years back and it was a tone machine. This guitar is beyond description.

That B&S really pops out nicely under finish, really appealing piece of work.
Would love to hear a recording of a "The Tree" Buendia OM.

Cheers,
Tom

Don't let Juston touch your guitar. He's going to eat it!

That's gorgeous! I tried to catch it yesterday, but alas, it had left the nest. Enjoy!
