2000 Joshia de Jonge OMC Indian/Cedar
This is a special guitar we have here. One of only four steel strings that Joshia De Jonge has ever made. Joshia grew up in her fathers (Sergei De Jonge) shop and started building at a young age, and the experience shows. This OMC in East Indian Rosewood and Cedar from Joshia is a spectacular instrument in every regard, from fit to finish, and tone to playabilty, this is a guitar that stuns the player from the first note. Joshia is primarily a classical guitar builder, so you can be sure that this steel string is a responsive, lightly built fingerpickers dream, with an articulate tone from bass to trebles.

Growing up in a family of guitar makers it was not unusual for us to have dinner-table debates about Sitka versus Englemann, Indian Rosewood versus Brazilian. My brothers and I strived to out-do each other and meet the high standards of our father, Sergei de Jonge.
I was thirteen when I built my first guitar in 1992. What began as an interesting pass-time has grown into a life’s passion of honing my craft and perfecting the intricacies of design. I primarily learnt from my father, having worked alongside him for much of my career, then later assisting as a teacher in his guitar-building courses, and I was also fortunate to spend time with Géza Burghardt, who taught me French polishing. I have since moved into my own worshop in the rugged Gatineau Hills of western Québec, Canada.
Building a limited number of guitars a year allows me to pay close attention to detail. While volume is important, quality of tone is imperative. With every instrument I craft I strive to achieve a full, pure tone that inspires and compliments each player.
