Wenge/Engleman OM by A. Nathan Noel

Nathan Noel is a good friend of mine and a veteran builder of electric tube amps and electric guitars. He is building his first acoustic and it's for me! It is a Wenge / Engleman OM (Orchestral Model) with a sightly modified body contour.

Engeleman spruce top

Headstock with hand-etched inlay

The back


Wenge sides and maple binding.  The binding is washed out due to slight over-exposure of the picture to show the Wenge's grain.


It plays and sounds as good as it looks....

All finished and nestled in it's new hard shell TKL case.
