2005 Alberico, Fabrizio OM - Acoustic Guitar
Fabrizio Alberico is one of the modern builders who is well known for the incredible build quality, playability and tone his guitars offer. This is a very cleanly built guitar and you can tell it comes from a builder who loves his craft. I had the pleasure of meeting Fab at the Swannanoa Gathering this summer and he is a very genuine individual and his love of music comes through in his guitars. This OM, named 'Emma', has an articulate and sweet voice. The Cedar top is warm and full sounding while the rosewood adds power and brilliance. The setup is perfect and we love the small sound port that allows the player to hear it in detail.

Player Reviews:
"We often find that great guitars come from builders who play well. It gives them an advantage when they are designing and crafting their instruments. Fabrizio Alberico plays guitar very well and you can hear it in this OM, named 'Emma'. The voice is sweet and true and the playability is superb. It has a few wonderful features such as the soundport and the Cocobolo trim. This is an exquisite guitar in every way and we are certain it will bring joy to one lucky customer." - Paul Heumiller
"Fab's guitars are works of art. The balance is even and the tone is clear. I had the pleasure of having Fab in one of my classes at the Swannanoa Gathering this summer and he's a great musician as well as a great builder." - Al Petteway
