2003 de Jonge SSS - Standard Steel String, OM Acoustic Guitar
Flamed Koa paired with bearclaw Spruce makes a gorgeous canvas for your music in this guitar. The natural beauty of the wood makes for a natural elegance, there is no abalone so the wood is allowed to shine. The spalted rosette completes the look. The tone is magnificent, lush and musical and very balanced over the entire fingerboard.

Player Reviews:
"de Jonge guitars are very well known to guitarists the world over. They are specifically known for very high quality craftsmanship and lovely, balanced tone. I really like the way they let the woods be showcased on this guitar. Koa is so pretty and this set is spectacular. I especially like the Koa bindings which keep the golden color across the entire instrument. This guitar is a great strummer in addition to being an extremely articulate fingerpicker. It is crisp and brilliant as one wood expect but there is lovely character and fullness as well. This one is mint and offers tremendous beauty for the eyes and ears..." - Paul Heumiller
"This is a great fingerstyle guitar. The sound is woody, but clear and the neck feels perfect. I personally like the sound of Koa on guitars and this one does not dissappoint." - Al Petteway
