Comet

Send your playing into orbit with a Comet!

An old-school, orchestra model built for versatility and responsive touch. This OM style acoustic guitar features an Adirondack red spruce top, Rosewood bridge plate and an Ebony fingerboard and bridge with vintage bone nut and saddle. Choice of sides.

Steve’s Take: “Let me gather the lightest weight woods possible. That right there is a lot of fun! Let me make the best, ultra-lightweight orchestra models I can make. Under three pounds ideally! Pre-war specs, with a fine red spruce top…hard to beat. It’s just one of the time-tested models, and they are very dynamic with excellent bass response up through sparkling high end.”
