If it were legal to marry a guitar, we’d put a ring on one the tuner posts and call this brand new Grand Salon OM from Dontcho Ivanov our partner for life. This guitar is simply incredible. Dontcho paired Madagascar Rosewood with black inking with an Adirondack Spruce top and Mahogany neck that’s a cross between a C and D shape. Mirror sheen finish throughout, right down to the bridge, with polished pins to match. A mosaic rosette offers a subtle nod to classical guitar aesthetics, but the Florentine cutaway and scalloped nut keep things fresh and exciting.
In a word, this Ivanov is velvet. It plays smooth as cream, with a rich, balanced response and exquisite note definition. We found ourselves losing track of time while playing it; hard to put down. The OM design is supposed to be a workhorse for lots of styles. Dontcho’s take with this Grand Salon is the thoroughbred of the pack.
