A very nice OM-R cutaway made by Joel Michaud in Canada. This one in Euro spruce and beautifully figured Panamanian rosewood.

Specs / Measurements

  • 2017

  • Euro Spruce / Panamanian Rosewood

  • ~1.82” nut

  • ~25” string length

  • ~2.26” string spacing at saddle

  • Backstrip truss

  • Scalloped nut

  • EVO Gold frets

  • Gold leaf accents in relief

  • Schertler tuners

  • Original Hiscox case

Condition / Setup Notes

Excellent(+); The guitar is in beautiful shape, exceptionally clean. No notable wear. Currently set up with string height about 5/64” to 4/64” from bass to treble, with just a touch of relief. Plays nicely.

Additional Thoughts

This guitar does everything right in terms of bringing a satisfying sound and good playability, but it also comes with some nice aesthetic and technical details. There are gold leaf accents in the headstock, back, and tail; they are textured nicely and in relief, creating nice visual interest. The scalloped nut is also an attractive detail. The backstrip truss is a nice design touch, there to mitigate back creep over the years that can distort the body geometry. The material selection too is notable; a great choice with the Panamanian rosewood, a less usual Dalbergia, and with excellent grain and color. The top is also excellent, even grain and color, with no run out. This is a well-designed and thought out guitar, with all aspects considered.
