Here is a pair of All Montana wood guitars.  These OOO-SP's are the guitar version of a "paint" quarter horse......look at the fingerboards and bridges.....they are Mountain Mahogany, not really a mahogany at all but a hardwood that grows in Montana and is actually as hard as Ebony.  Back and sides:  one of them is Paradise Black Walnut the other is Paradise White Walnut (Butternut).  The soundboards are Montana Swan River Valley Engelmann Spruce.  Who says you need wood from South America or Africa for a guitar......these are SWEET sounding instruments!  12 fret necks....very nice to play.....

This particular OOO-SP features African Padauk back & sides and a well aged Sitka Spruce top......it is an excellent combination for punchy beautiful notes that can be felt as well as heard.  This guitar is a gem you won't want to part with....  it is a 12 fret neck that is nice....to play.  You'll want to bond with this one.......it won't last long......

Here is a custom order OOO-SP cutaway with special Abalone shell inlay.  We can inlay whatever you would like to make that extra special heirloom guitar.  What could be more special to pass down through the family.  E-mail (or call us) that we might help you create that most special looking and sounding guitar.  Take note of the 'Bear Claw' Alaskan Sitka Spruce soundboard on this instrument.......

The OOO-SP is a smaller bodied guitar with good projection and sweet tone.   The neck  joins the body at the 12th fret placing the bridge more in the center of the lower bout which in turn with special bracing creates an enhanced tone.  This example below is Hawaiian Koa back and sides,  Old growth Redwood top and Paradise Black Walnut neck.

Here is an example of a OOO-SP similar to vintage Martin.  This one has a Sitka spruce top and African Mahoghany back and sides.  Has slotted peghead w/Schaller tuners.  The nut on this guitar is 1 3/4" wide and the scale length is 24.9".  Wonderful projection and tone with easy playability. Herringbone rosette and purfling.
