2006 Osthoff AS Baritone. Macassar striped ebony back/sides, italian spruce top, ebony fingerboard, elogant rossette. This is a 27" scale baritone guitar and truly one of the most robust sound guitars I've ever played. It premiered at the Newport Guitar Festival in 2006. The sustain is incredible in that you can strum it once, get up and make a sandwich, come back and there is still sound coming out of it. The Osthoff AS Baritone is great for ragtime, modern fingerstyle, or just about any time you need a BIG sound.
