This is an amazing guitar that was built for the 2015 Woodstock Instrument Show by John Osthoff. The guitar is a combination of traditional woods combined with modern materials and techniques to produce a wonderfully satisfying guitar.

I make a lot of effort to take very good care of my instruments. I took some photos of the guitar in it's current condition. I've also included a couple of shots of his bracing technique. The back is "live" in that it is allowed to move and focus the sound towards the center of the sound board. John also uses a double X brace instead of an X brace and tone bars.
