Hi Larry. Nice seeing you over here. I always enjoy listening to your playing and I think you make terrific presentations when showcasing the guitars you are selling. I have enjoyed seeing the development of your passion project (business). Good luck with the brick and mortar.

While we await the official opinion, I’ll offer my experience. I owned an excellent H13 with a slotted headstock, but I wasn’t quite satisfied. I ordered a custom H13 with same woods, however I specified a solid headstock and discussed what I thought were the shortcomings in the slotted H13 before the Custom was ordered. Short story, the Custom H13 with the solid headstock is an absolute perfect guitar for me. I did the same thing with a Froggy Bottom 00 model and the Custom Froggy with the solid headstock is the clear winner. In general, I’ve found the models which a solid headstock are deeper sounding, handle a pick better, while maintaining responsiveness and clear tone when playing softly with fingers. Both guitars with solid headstocks weigh 3 pounds 10 ounces, so added weight was not an issue.

Hank, looks like there is one in stock at Eddie’s if the Radius is correct.

When you visit I’d love to get your impressions on the SCGC 000 Custom Adirondack Spruce & Koa. It’s a knockout and seems to have been hanging in the shop for a while.

After playing the OM for 5 weeks, I have a better idea how it compares to the OMG. The biggest difference is how the OM rings like a bell through the entire tonal spectrum. Strong bass is developing, but the ring of all notes is pretty amazing. On the other hand, the OMG’s character is clearly marked by its dark, rich and balanced qualities. Both are amazing, but for having the same woods, it throws out the idea that you can get a clear answer to: what does Cocobolo sound like. As we often say, it’s all about the build in capable hands.
