This Folk Guitar has a rich and balanced voice with great projection. It responds well to a light touch as well as a heavy playing style without distorting! The nut is 1 7/8” wide (narrower than a classical and wider than a steel string). The radiused and signature Oceana scalloped fretboard give this guitar the smoothest and fastest fretboard you have ever experienced while maintaining the brightness of tone. The neck is a soft “V” shape that fits nicely in small or large hands.

This small bodied nylon stringed folk guitar was inspired by a few different guitars. Back in the day guitars were not divided into two groups “Steel String and Classical”. This guitar draws off a bigger history and defies the modern categories. A big, rich sound you might not expect from nylon strings, a blend you might say. Easy to hold and play, it only weighs 2.6 lb!

The beauty of this Sitka Spruce top (a reclaimed float log from Whale Pass, SE Alaska) and the Mango back and sides is stunning! This intricate wood rosette sets it off nicely, while combining the colors and woods of the fretboard and mango back and sides.

It has a high gloss finish which highlights the beauty of the wood and a matte neck finish which keeps the tactile area of the guitar smooth and silky for the player. I built this with a slot head and relic tuners which I felt captured the look of a 100year old instrument.
