Home / Shop / 2006 Somogyi OM Brazilian/European Custom Radial Back Bracing
Ervin Somogyi was a pioneer in fingerstyle guitar. His designs emphasizing the qualities that fingerstylist need were a big part of the acoustic guitar phenomenon that started with Windham Hill Records. Several of the top artist of that period played Somogyi guitars including William Ackerman, Alex de Grassi, Daniel Hecht, George Winston and others.
Today Ervin Somogyi is one of our true Masters and passes on his knowledge by teaching voicing to many well-known modern makers. Playing just a few notes on this Brazilian Rosewood OM you realize just how unique and special a Somogyi guitar is. This is unlike anything else you’ve ever played. It’s magical, somehow Ervin manages to get Bass that rivals a Dreadnought alongside the sweetest trebles you’ve heard and the trebles strings are as loud as the bass. It’s remarkable really. No doubt the custom radial back bracing on this one is part of the secret. We’ve seen many a players jay drop when they play a Somogyi… this guitar is that kind of guitar.
