Gaiero OMC Swiss Alpine Spruce/Fenland Bog Oak

$11,400

Description

This Gaiero OMC (Orchestra Model + Florentine Cutaway) is created with luthier Mark Gaiero's own curvature and measurement, the smallest OM than Somogyi or other apprentices' OMs.

Mark applied Somogyi-Esque modern voicing to this body and tweaked that voicing to achieve more headroom. It can handle deep arpeggio to pretty strong strums with ease. Beautiful harmonics are a plus.

A Swiss Alpine Spruce top paired with a set of Bog Oak that grew in the Fenland District of eastern England around 5,000 years ago on the back and sides for the body, a roasted flame maple from the midwestern US with Katalox bridge and fretboard made a great-sounding guitar, and the greener environment with these Non-Endangered Species.

The aesthetic appointments are genuinely unique, but subtlety is the key here.
Once the neck material was chosen, that became the basis for the remaining decorative elements: the radial rosette, top purfling, fretboard purfling, 12th fret marker, headstock veneer, and end graft. For a splash of color, there’s a thin red/black purfling line that appears here and there.
