Have a picture of him admiring it. All Walnut cut away. I will let it go for 4800. dan@sgpromo.com Los angeles area.

The only thing Ayers & MO have in common is the fact that they are both acoustics. Perhaps the author is confused with the Magnum line? I don't claim to be an expert at all the possible OEM resources MO uses, but believe me when I say that I've never seen or played a more beautiful guitar than my Magnum Opus J-600CW2. Everything about it is magnificent and the workmanship is flawless!!!

My guitar was built in California as I stopped in frequently and watched the progress. Did you ever stop to think that MO works with multiple luthiers as do many guitar manufacturers?

I personally don't like Magnum Opus the company, because they try to hide the fact that these guitars are made by Vietnamese luthiers. If these guitars are as good as they say, why is the company so ashamed to admit where they come from? Are they racist?

(because of their sound not the neck) I bought another Magnum opus all walnut and sold one of the Martins. The Eagles are now playing with them too. You can get them for $3500 to $5000.check Ebay now and again
