Buckham / John OM Grand Ancient Rosewood Cedar / 2015 / Guitar

Australia based luthier John Buckham makes distinctive hand crafted custom guitars using solid tonewoods throughout. He strives to create an instrument that is both a joy to play and own, as well as listen to of course! His guitars are made completely by himself, therefore he is able to maintain ultimate quality control through the entire process. The story behind this 2015 OM model begins with John buying a small piece of furniture from eBay called a "whatnot". These are small shelves that people used to display their precious items on. From this furniture he managed to gather several beautiful backs and sides which were used in several instruments of which this was one. In this case the -for lack of a better word- "Ancient" Rosewood has been mated to a nice and dark, tightly grained cedar top. The unique "Falcate" bracing pattern -pioneered by Trevor Gore- makes for a more even sound across all notes, improved responsiveness and more volume without compromising longevity. The combination of tonewoods plus the bracing pattern give the instrument an almost mysterious, deep and solid character with a distinct and "airy" projection across the entire tonal range. The comfortable C-shaped mahogany neck uses a wide 45,5mm (1 3/4") nutwidth which, in combination with the 58mm (2 1/4") string spacing, makes it most perfectly suited for fingerstyle and flatpicking. Like most buckham guitars it has been adorned with tasteful details like the snakewood body bindings, Abalone rosette, snakewood headstock overlay and only side dot position markers leaving the Ancient rosewood fretboard nice and clean. The condition of this guitar is Very Good; pretty clean with some weatherchecking in the body finish, some dings playwear and other signs of use in the finish of both the body and neck. Included is a Boston hardshell case and CITES.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
