2009 NKForster Guitars S - OM Acoustic Guitar

This is a lovely OM sized guitar by a talented young builder Nigel Forster who comes out of the Sobell tradition. The guitar has wonderfully understated looks, is very playable, and could be a performing or recording fingerstylist's dream. It embodies all the qualities of a classic OM... it's intimate but very alive, it responds well to a sensitive touch or a more aggressive approach, and it feels extremely comfortable in the lap. This one is Indian Rosewood and Italian Spruce, hand selected by Nigel in Italy.

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"I've always been a fan of the Sobell style Trebles, big, fat strings that sing out. Nigel continues that element in his work, but adds more bass and his own unique stamp on the voice that is wonderful. This guitar excels at melodies on the treble strings and the bass is very clear, it records very well." - Paul Heumiller

"This guitar has lots of character and presence. It's a great recording guitar feels great." - Al Petteway

"This Forster is a great fingerpicker, a nice "shimmery" strummer, and a beautiful "bell-like" recording instrument. She's well balanced, with present and punchy basses and trebles that are crisp and very alive. " - Al Schlimm

Another Satisfied Dream Guitars Customer:
"I can't say enough how pleased I am with this purchase. The beauty of the Kiso Klein OMK coming out of its case was overwhelming, needless to say my husband is very happy with his birthday present and so am I because I'll be next! Great customer service over the phone, all questions were answered completely by Paul who just took all the time in the world to make sure I was purchasing the right guitar for my husband. Thanks again, its wonderful that you can still get that good feeling and trust in dealing with the right people." - Nita W.
