Custom G.H. 12 fret/12 string Acoustic Guitar.
A ground up custom design based around an OM body size. Design features include 12 fret neck join, venetian cutaway and ergonomic bevels for knee, right arm and access to upper frets. A special request from the client was the Martin “dart” volute done in James Olson style rear veneer and binding – a feature he loved on his two Olsen guitars which was executed with James’ approval. Another unique client request was the very beautiful and subtle South Australian brown opal dot inlays which have a 0.4mm pearl border.
