Model OO
Spohn's smallest-bodied acoustic, built to order with a comfortable, intimate feel but a surprisingly big, well-balanced voice for its size.
About this guitar
The Model OO is Max Spohn’s smallest steel-string body shape, compact and comfortable to play, but voiced with more depth and responsiveness than its size suggests. Every OO is hand-built to order in Spohn’s workshop in Rothenburg, Germany, with a base price covering a spruce top and a choice of mahogany, wenge, or East Indian rosewood back and sides, plus a full menu of tonewood and hardware upgrades.
