I ordered this guitar 4 months ago and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on it late Fall when it's finished. By the way, PG has a typo on model number. It's a J-625CWC model, not a J-6250WC. This will be my 3rd MO and they are the absolute best!!!

I own the one pictured. Its my favorite. I had two vintage 70's martin d35's that I thought I would never sell. (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

I own 4 Magnum Opus guitars now and for my hard earned dollars there's nothing better! They are hard to find in stock, but if you ever have the opportunity to buy one I'd jump at it. You will not be disappointed.

I've seen them at Northwest Guitars. Didn't play one cause they were locked in glass display case. If they sound half as good as they look they must be special!

Shock and awe... Just played one and I'm freaked! The most amazing box I've ever played. Where the hell did these guys come from?

I'm a proud owner of Magnum Opus and I can attests there is not a better acoustic in the marketplace - certainly not at MO price points. Very fair pricing for exceptional handmade guitars!

The most awesome guitar I've ever heard, played, owned and performed with. They are stunning and absolutely elegant. I can't believe more players and dealers aren't hip to them. I can tell you this, you'll never play anything else after owning one. There is something quite magical about Magnum Opus and they will cast a spell upon you and your audience.

Just played my first Magnum Opus acoustic and I'm speechless! Best sounding and playing acoustic I've ever experienced.
