Harry Eibert is well known to this area, having been a Syracuse based luthier for quite some time. Now residing in Montana, Harry continues to work on instruments, producing some under the HF Ebert branding. With nods to fine instruments of the past, we are happy to see and play this lovely flat top baring an old friends name.

Constructed with a Spruce top and Mahogany back & sides, this ornate guitar looks like a high grade Martin that never was. The lower bout measures 15.5" across, with a depth of 4.5" at the base - the upper bout measuring 11" across and 3 11/16" in depth towards the heel. The body joins the neck at the 12th fret, the fingerboard extension very close to the 3.75" soundhole. Decorated, it has ornate pearl binding, ply'd by what appears to be maple. A natural top exposes tight grain pattern. A nice simple ebony bridge, the saddle likely untouched. Book matched Mahogany back and sides with a marquetry center has elegant three dimensional flame. Upper register cutaway makes one realize how cool of a design this really is coupled with its 12 fret neck joint.

Sonically, this guitar has boom, but with exceptional clarity - and sonically fits into the world that most OM players would prefer. Coupling that with the wide nut width, jazz and classical players will appreciate dense and complex note work. Finely built, and well cared for, this guitar is in really good shape - less some hardly noticeable light surface wearScalloped X bracing and wide, thin maple bridge plate present.

The neck is constructed with a 25.4" scale, and a wide 1 15/16" nut width. The neck constructed out of a deeply stained mahogany, with an ebony fingerboard - complete with abalone snowflake inlay. The neck has a thicker, 30's baseball bat kind of feel - measuring _" in depth at the first fret with essentially no taper until the heel. The pearl and abalone ornamentation on the peg head overlay evokes clear Custom Martin spec - perfectly executed. The guitar plays easily, with a nice neck angle, straight low action that measures 6/64" in height on the twelfth fret of the sixth string, and 5/64" on the first. The saddle shows about 4/64" above its slot at the center.

Includes hardshell case.
