Padauk is a wonderful back and side wood from Africa that is slightly harder and heavier than Indian Rosewood with a stable, strong tone. Dana Bourgeois says that, “Padauk is the most promising replacement for Rosewood”. Dana and many other builders claim is as a good substitute for Brazilian rosewood. Called a wonderful “musical wood”, it produces a robust and deeper sound, a strong bass, rich with overtones.
Other features include Waverly relic tuners with oval buttons, Madagascar Rosewood overlay, zipper backstrip, 1 3/4″ nut width and 2 5/16″ string spacing at the saddle, The OM LSH is a very versatile guitar with drive and presence perfect for any style of playing.
