Custom acoustic guitar

About Oso Guitars

About Oso Guitars

I build quality custom acoustic guitars that look great and sound better.  They are all dreadnought size bodies based on traditional Martin design and you can customize several features such as 12 or 14 frets, fretboard inlay, peghead inlay, and the type of wood. I use high quality wood and all guitars are solid throughout - no laminate.

I use the same wood used in my guitars to craft personalized gifts.  Take a look and find the perfect gift.

Custom acoustic guitar with torrified spruce top

Soundboard

The soundboard is the part of the acoustic guitar most responsible for creating great tone.  Every Oso guitar is built with solid Sitka Spruce for superior strength and tone.

Custom acoustic guitar top bracing pattern

Bracing

 I use Spruce for bracing the top due to it's weight to strength ratio.  The bracing pattern is consistent with the tried and true pattern of Martin Dreadnoughts.  The braces are shaped to allow maximum vibration of the top and each soundboard is tap tuned to create the best tone possible. 

Custom acoustic guitar with rosewood back and sides completed

Backs and Sides

Back and side sets are individually chosen for their overall beauty bas on color and grain pattern.  I typically use Indian Rosewood or Honduras Mahogany, but Walnut or Sapele make attractive alternatives as well.  The back braces are cut from a single, solid piece of Mahogany, shaped and tucked under Mahogany reverse kerfed linings.
