Gather round! Our latest Brand New OM from Bevan Frost of Big Hollow Guitars has arrived. Tight flamed Koa back and sides—take a moment to appreciate that lovely figuring—pair up with Lutz Spruce on top in a gorgeous sunburst. Oil Varnish finish throughout for maximum resonance, which this Big Hollow has in spades, and Alessi tuners at the slotted headstock for an added touch of elegance. The voice is smooth and balanced, an excellent player for fingerstyle, but with enough power under the hood to hold up under a flatpick as well, thanks to the versatile nature of Lutz Spruce. Bevan’s fit and finish are fantastic; the pyramid bridge is well executed, and we love the use of Bloodwood bindings to make the sunburst and Koa pop. A bird’s beak headstock joint on Mahogany neck is the cherry on top.
