A gorgeous 8 string OM/D shape, fan-freted with extended fret-board for the 8th string, LEFTY Loef guitar, made in
2018, in mint condition.
Olaf Loef is a high end custom guitar builder from Finland and his work is remarkable. The guitar has unbelievably low action, dynamic mid range and very balanced low end, and I would say has a bit of the typical clear "Celtic" tone you get from European guitar builders like Lowden, McIlroy, Avalon...
Being an 8 string guitar, one can tune it in very different ways: with two additional low strings:
- the "normal" e, b, g, D, A, E + low C and low G# (or G, or A).
- e, b, g, D, A, E + additional high f# and low A (G# or G).
- Also works very fine with DADgad + high e and low A (or A#)
You can find in youtube several demos for Loef guitars (just type "loef guitars"), or check his web site (loefguitars.fi).
SPECIFICATIONS:
Body: Deep body OM/D
Scale: Fanfret - 650mm scale on treble and an extended fretboard for the low G 730mm scale
Top: Alpine Spruce
Back & Sides: striped and flamed Ebanum / Ebony (a family member of blackwood), with flamed Koa bindings
strings: G 070, C 064, E 050, A 040, D 032, G 022, B 015, E 012.
(or 1-6 string: a 012-054 set)
case: Gator
