  • Comments: The combination of premium Rosewood and Torrified Sitka is very versatile and dynamic. Josh builds a light and responsive OM and the Rosewood gives you a very full sound spectrum, while the Torr Sitka provides a nice warmth. The mids are very cello-esque with controlled sustain. The simplistic beauty of Josh's builds is always fascinating to me. It is all about the wood...inside and out. His mastery of detail is mesmerizing.
