"This custom beauty, called the Pescatore, has sound holes that resemble a fishhook in the ancient Hawaiian design. Needless to say, it was built for a customer that loves to fish. The body and soundholes are purposely non-symmetrical in order to impart a unique tone with defined separation between the high end and bass tones."

Associate Editor Rich Osweiler started playing guitar at the tender age of 8, but over the years bass has become his main instrument. Prior to joining Premier Guitar, Rich worked at Acoustic Guitar for 10 years as associate publisher and director of marketing. He loves all types of music—from gypsy jazz to lo-fi and grindcore—provided the genre name isn’t preceded by the “contemporary” tag. Outside of music, Rich enjoys travel, skiing, woodworking, coaching baseball, and being a dad. He lives in Marin County with his 10-year-old daughter and their dog, Kiko.
