Details
Luthier Jeff Jewitt is an accomplished woodworker on many fronts, not just building and repairing guitars, but running a successful furniture restoration business, developing a line of wood dye stains used by numerous luthiers and major brands (including Gibson and Santa Cruz), as well as writing and teaching through the Galloup School and more. That thorough and multi-disciplinary approach has clearly paid off in his fine guitars. His OM will please any fan of the traditional, Martin-inspired sound, and as well as players who want a versatile instrument that will toggle seamlessly from fingers to a flatpick. Thoroughly well-balanced, there's an articulate woodiness, with a hint of darkness and clear sustain thanks to the Brazilian rosewood. The neck starts off with a soft V near the nut, gradually smoothing out to a C shape by the time you pass the 7th fret—a design that makes cowboy chords and blazing lead lines up high equally easy to execute.
