Showalter mills their own Sycamore onsite. Many have discovered Sycamore to have every bit as lovely of tone as the traditional Spruce top and some even prefer it. When it comes to looks however, perfectly quarter-sawn Sycamore can not be beat and resonates well with a dark and punchy sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWalnut is not a new wood to many guitar fans. Most Walnut guitars you find will be built out of Claro, or Western Walnut, whereas Showalter's walnut is milled right in the valley from Eastern Black Walnut. The result is a highly figured grain with a rich and warm sound. If you're looking for a native piece of the Shenandoah Valley to delight your musical ears, this is the instrument for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShape: Orchestra Model\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop Wood: Sycamore\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBack\/Side Wood: Black Walnut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck: Black Walnut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHead plate: Black Walnut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFingerboard: Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBridge: Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody binding: Tortoise Shell Celluloid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics: No\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCutaway: No\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScale length: 25.34\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLower bout: 15\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpper bout: 11 1\/4\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaist: 9 1\/8\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepth of body at neck: 3 3\/14\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepth of body at lower bout: 4 3\/8\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFingerboard width at nut: 1 3\/4\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFingerboard width at body: 2 3\/16\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eString spacing at saddle: 2 3\/16\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaddle and nut: Bone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePins: White with Abalone dots\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTuners: Open Grovers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrets: Stainless Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpace markers: MOP dots\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInlayed logo: MOP  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurfling: Herringbone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBackstrip: Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrings: D'Addario .12-.53\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePick guard: No\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrap button: Silver\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish date: 11\/2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTES: Hybrid Dovetail\/Bolt on Neck, Highly Figured Grain, Lacquer Finish\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Showalter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52237126795576,"sku":null,"price":3190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/8834\/3096\/files\/IMG_1277.jpg?v=1784306957","url":"https:\/\/treeboneguitars.com\/products\/showalter-om-164-sycamore-and-black-walnut","provider":"Tree Bone Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
