Evening folks. Hope all are well & enjoying the Easter long weekend.
So here they are - the finished OM pictures.
This was one of the toughest photoshoots I've ever done. Shiny Bog Oak is just like trying to photograph a black mirror! I've read people's gripes about African Blackwood being the same and they're not wrong! It has so many colours & patterns in the grain, but as soon as you shine a light on it, it wants to reflect the whole room.
The reason that I included the very last photo was because it really showed the Bog Oak's stunning figure - which was taken on my workshop bench as I was setting the guitar up and the low, late afternoon winter/spring Scottish sun caught the guitar in all of it's glory.
I created this new thread just in case the photos got lost in the white noise of my build thread, as it's fairly long now! But if you missed it & would like to see the build process of this guitar, here's a link to the OM in Alpine Spruce & Bog Oak (Build thread)
(A demo recording will follow in the coming weeks...)
