Everything about this guitar feels natural and intimate. Practically new, this 2017 Buendia has virtually no play wear, boasts chocolatey Madagascar Rosewood back and sides with German Spruce on top, and Leo’s art deco style headstock for an elegant capstone. The 25 inch scale is easy on the hands, and Leo’s Honduran Mahogany neck is carved with a slightly shallow C profile that fit everyone who picked up this OM for a demo.
The voice is classic Buendia: smooth bass response, great string-to-string balance, and that sweet spot between warmth and clarity that makes for rich, defined notes. Additionally, this OM is outfitted with a ruddy Amazon Rosewood bridge, nitrocellulose finish, and Hoffee flight case for maximum protection.
Leo’s guitars don’t come up for sale too often; this is not one to miss.
