(NEW) It's been a minute since we've had a Baleno OM in the house, and this one is as good as we've heard! It has the torrefied Adirondack spruce for a little vintage tinge and responsiveness to the sound, and Indian rosewood back and sides sounding very resonant, indeed. This guitar, though, has an ease of playability that is hard to describe, it comes as close as anything in the store to "playing itself" thanks to Chuck's comfy mod-V neck shape and expert setup.
Long scale with 1 3/4" nut, 2 1/4" string spacing at the saddle. Cosmetics include burl accent purfling and rosette, diamond inlays on the ebony fingerboard, ebony tuner buttons on the Waverly tuners, and of course wood binding standard! Chuck also sweetens the deal with stainless steel frets (you'll have a lot of fun trying to wear them out... but probably never will!) and impeccable intonation via compensated nut and saddle.
Not for nothing, best fit and finish we've seen from a one-man shop, period! Includes hard case.
