Sergei de Jonge offered us this wonderful OM Cutaway and we jumped at the chance. Hand made completely by Sergei himself this is an astonishing guitar with an animated voice that rewards the lightest touch with a vibrant voice. The foundation of this breathtaking instrument is old growth Brazilian Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce to which Sergei added a tapered cutaway that seamlessly blends into the neck heel. The sides are lined with Maple, for added projection and articulation. This is a superb fingerstyle instrument from one of Canada's foremost masters.

Player Reviews:
"This is a truly special de Jonge guitar handmade by Sergei himself. The voice is very alive and it's easy to coax a big voice from this OM. The lined sides and premium woods give this one a tremendous tone this is complete and versatile. The craftsmanship is superb and I especially like the way the cutaway blends into the neck heel, exquisite." - Paul Heumiller
"This is a great guitar for fingerstyle playing. It has a nice midrange focus that is clear and crisp while remaining warm and energetic. The neck feels great." - Al Petteway
