Daniel Ott Guitars S Cuban Mahogany/Moon Spruce #12

My third Model S and once again, a truly unique instrument. The client comes from a classical guitar background, a fact reflected in the generous nut width and string spacing. We opted for a longer scale length to provide a bit more headroom for a heavier touch. Furthermore, the voicing was designed to prioritize balance, string separation, and a warm, rounded tonal character. To ensure the most effortless response possible, we selected a lightweight rosewood bridge. For added comfort, we also incorporated a mini-bevel. Green burl wood accents appear in the rosette and endgraft, while the bindings, headstock, and decorative strips are crafted from wildly figured East Indian rosewood. Black and white elements in the inlays create a striking contrast. Brass accents adorn the logo, side fretboard markers, and bridge pins. This instrument also features my new, ultra-thin "Vintage" semi-gloss finish!

The guitar resonates exceptionally and produces a very open, clear sound, especially remarkable for such a compact body shape. The tone is incredibly balanced and highly versatile, responding dynamically to different playing techniques. Whether playing classical pieces, modern fingerstyle, blues, or folk, this Model S feels equally at home in any genre. It is the perfect choice for the discerning fingerstyle player.
