Mario Beauregard made a beautiful, resonant instrument in 2000 with this OMC–then in 2007 he had a second chance to polish it until it shined! In order to implement his latest voicing techniques, Mario retopped this OM and replaced the neck with one that featured the glassy profile it now boasts. That brand new German Spruce top, when paired the drop-dead gorgeous set of Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides, gave this guitar a visual and acoustic aesthetic that’s summed up in one word: elegant.
The contour of the neck and 1 3/4″ nut feel smooth and intimate for the left hand, and the setup is dialed into that sweet spot for both fingerstyle and flatpicking. Digging into the bass strings brings out a panoply of rich, vibrant notes that fill out, rather than overpower, the voice; the name of Mario’s game here is balance, balance, balance. For the altered tunings guitarist, this Beauregard offers excellent string-to-string separation and trebles which maintain their crisp shimmer down into D tunings. Having opened up handsomely, this OMC has the dynamic and rich fundamental that professional musicians across the globe yearn for in their sweetest dreams.
This is one of my favorite Beauregards that I've played of late. The bass strings have great clarity, and the trebles are full and present. A dynamite fingerstyle guitar. 
Nicely balanced tone and great playability. | Scale Length | 25 in |
