Sustain is the first thing you might notice when you strum a chord on this wonderful Osthoff 000-12C guitar; the warm, clear tone seems to last forever. Maybe the culprit is the rare African Blackwood back and sides, or the Italian Spruce top. Both are premiere tonewoods coveted by builder and player alike. John Osthoff also voices this beautiful small-body guitar to be open and alive. It’s extremely comfortable to hold, the 12 fret neck reduces the reach of the left hand, but the cutaway insures full access to 15 frets. A sweetheart for sure.
This guitar offers two of the finest woods available today, rare African Blackwood and Italian Spruce. Together they produce a rich, full sound that has great articulation and clarity. There a wonderful lyrical quality to the guitar and it plays with ease. A great fingerstyle guitar by John Osthoff. 
I'm very impressed with the sound of this guitar. It's warm and cozy without losing any clarity. The looks are classic and the feel is perfect. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
