    I've played a Bruce Sexauer-built Schoenberg, the first-ever 24.75" OM-28 they ever did, for a guy in Japan I believe, and it was bloody spectacular. This was at the Luthiers Consortium, which was a kind of private hotel-room acoustifest outside NAMM. I had to play it in front of both Bruce and Eric, mind, which was a bit alarming  s

    On the other hand it wasn't even the best guitar in the room - a John Slobod maple 00 was. Feck! It haunts me. Al Petteway bought it.

    I particularly liked Eric S's whole idea of 'The Soloist' an out ant out fingerpickin sonic wonder - all the right dimensions, brace placement etc,etc. The examples I've heard (over the net) have convinced me - it's all I'd want from one guitar.
    I have a vague recollection - like designing the Blueridge range - he had a run of 'Soloists' built by - I cant quite remember - maybe Asturias ??, they still off a model called 'Solo' - so -??
    Watch out for a relatively cheaper incarnation of this model.
    Meanwhile - here's a spin off from ES's influence - the Bourgeois Soloist, this one is a beep body version - similar to the Bourgeois J-OM but with cutaway -

    ok - geek time -
    If u'r interested in geetar loar - heres a read on who put the cutaway in the OM / 000, also read the second last chapter well !  I have a (J-OM ) that was developed for another BIG player in guitar manufacturing but didn't 'take off' - I wonder why ?. PM me if u wanna find out.
