Founded in 2014 by luthiers Ben Maschal and Wes Lambe, Pre-War guitars are designed to emulate the tone, feel, and look of the most iconic acoustic guitars built in the 1930s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u2028 This CITES-Certified OM was originally ordered through Folkway and was ordered with level 1 distressing and a very thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish. It shows almost no playwear and presents as near-new these five years later. Clearly very well cared for, this guitar has had 5 years of opening-up, and offers a way for you to jump the long queue for a Brazilian rosewood CITES-permitted Pre-War OM that’s already here in Canada. American buyers can easily obtain an export permit for this guitar as the original import permit remains in the case.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn incredibly well balanced, nuanced and responsive OM, this guitar will appeal to pretty much anyone who plays guitar. It's powerful enough to carry a bluegrass jam but subtle enough to offer up its best tone under a lighter fingerstyle attack. It's a very dry and woody sounding guitar, with amazing fundamental and clarity without sacrificing any warmth, color, and darkness. It's expressive and rich, without any muddiness through the bass, and remains articulate enough to satisfy the most demanding fingerstyle players.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis OM model is a CITES-certified Brazilian rosewood 1930's style OM with torrefied red spruce top and torrefied forward-shifted X bracing. The bridgeplate and bracing dimensions are drawn from a mid 1930's original. The neck is also blueprinted from an original 1930's guitar, and offers the feel that vintage guitar owners are quite familiar with. It has a C-to-V carve with a nut width of 1-3\/4” and a 1st fret thickness of .835”. 25.4” scale and 2-5\/16” string spacing at the bridge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHerringbone top trim, zigzag back strip, ivoroid bindings, traditional celluloid and wood rosette. Ebony fingerboard with slotted diamond inlays, angle bottomed bone nut, vintage style Waverly tuners with aged patina. Ebony bridge with slot-through bone saddle and ivoroid unslotted pins.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo repairs or modifications and 100% original.
