Here we have a very uniquely beautiful custom Maingard OM in rare African Blackwood and European Spruce. It is customized with DUAL BEVELS, one for the arm and one for the ribs as well a venetian cutaway. But what really makes it unique are the intricate inlays Marc Maingard created for this one. The rosette is his Bushmen motif with elegant shapes and beautiful shell materials. Then there is the custom butterfly set into the Spruce top in great detail. So not only is this a strong, rich sounding Maingard OM with the haunting quality of African Blackwood, but it has one-of-a-kind beauty as well.
African Blackwood is more rare than Brazilian Rosewood and fast becoming a favorite wood of our customers. Favored because it has deep, rich tone and adds a wonderful weight to the treble strings that is palatable and makes them full and strong. Aside from his tone Marc Maingard is also very well know for his intricate inlay artwork. The work here is stunning and elegant. It catches the eye without being too flashy and gives this instrument real character. 
I love the African Blackwood OM by Marc Maingard. This one has some of the most beautiful inlay work of any I've seen and the sound is awesome as you might expect. | Scale Length | 25.4000 in |
