I've always loved having David's guitars in the shop, and here's the first one I've had in quite some time. I'm told that David has wound his production way down, and is now only building a handful from his home-based shop. He may even be fully retired, depending on what you believe online. I've always put these on level with the mid-range boutique brands like Collings, Bourgeois, Huss & Dalton, etc. It's punchy and balanced, with a surprising amount of power from the OM body. I'm not familiar with Kam Pei wood but it seems to be a southeast Asian rosewood variant, similar to EIR or cocobolo. Beautiful grain though! The tone reminds me somewhere between cocobolo and walnut. Comes with original hardshell case.
Kam Pei back/sides Bearclaw Sitka top 14-fret OM body Ebony bridge, fretboard, headplate Koa binding Mahogany neck 1 3/4" nut, 2 7/32" spacing, 25 9/16" scale
Cosmetically, this guitar is in very good to excellent condition. There's a small ding on the top near the binding. Otherwise just minor signs of handling.
