Los Angeles-based luthier Isaac Jang is one of the up-and-coming builders we’ve been following with keen interest. He has the ability to take choice materials like Brazilian Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce, Ebony, Honduran Mahogany, and weave them together into a harmonious design that strikes the eye and sets the ears ringing. We’ve been fortunate to have commissioned several custom builds from Isaac, and our latest adds his Uchida-style Bendaway to the upper bout with an added bevel for further comfort and a slim Manzer Wedge body for smooth sailing.
Set up with a 16 to 20 inch compound radius fingerboard, this Jang OM feels intimate and cozy. But this beau is brand new! The voice has a lively quality that really plays out in the sonority of the bass and the liquid trebles. Excellent note separation for fingerstyle, dropped tunings most welcome. This is as close as you might get to the perfect guitar without the obligatory crossroads contract for your soul.
Jang's guitars are pushing the envelope both visually and acoustically, and the work he's doing these days is simply incredible. This OM is voiced for a mix of fingerstyle and flatpicking, and it manages to thread that needle better than most guitars I've seen. Another custom build for a client, this guitar is not available for sale, but let us know if you'd like to commission one for yourself! | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
