Some guitars have a well balance sound and some guitars have a lush three dimensional tone but not many can claim both! The new Sapele mahogany OM from the workshop of Sergei de Jonge does just that.

Here is a beautiful Brazilian rosewood classical from Sergei de Jonge. Sometimes you get certain pieces of Brazilian rosewood that I could just stair at for hours and this is one of them. The slightly mesmerizing grain lines complement the reddish chocolate coloring and really draw the eyes!! The tone matches the look with a full and lush complexity in the bass and midrange and a soft yet commanding treble presence. Hands down excellent craftsmanship yet again from Sergei de Jonge!

Here is a beautiful Brazilian classical from Sergi de Jonge. This guitar is a great example of the excellent tone you get when you combine top notch craftsmanship, traditional classical fan bracing, and wonderful sets of cedar and Brazilian rosewood. There is warmth and complex overtones as well as cut, definition and clarity. Hey… it looks pretty great too!! This guitar is in overall excellent shape with only minor play wear.

How can you not fall in love with this dramatically figured Engelmann spruce top and the lush exotic visuals of Snakewood … well … everywhere else!!! On top of that, Sergei has squeezed every ounce of tone, nuance and power out of the SS body size … it is just one of those sounds that really engages every particle of your interest … I LOVE
IT!!!!!!!!
