Marly's OMC PRP guitar, With side mounted soundhole.
 I was looking for another kind of projection of the sound from the guitar. It  developed in a sound hole mounted in the upper left shoulder of the guitar,  First I did some research about these kind of models and asked all about  guitars knowing Nicky Moeken from Guitar+.  “where can I find something  more about side mounted soundhole guitars” He told me that George  Brunner from Switzerland and Patrick Eggle from England are building these  kind of guitars. That’s where it all begun. When you play this model the  sound is projected right in your face. Instead of going away from the  player, the sound can be described as more growly in the lower section  with warmly sparkling high and mid tones. This model has a lipstick pick-up  at the neck and a piëzo under the bridge saddle. the Shadow SH Performer  PRO Doubleplay pre-amp that we often using has a extra function, It's a  fader. So you can Trim  the amplified sound  between the lipstick pick-up  and the piëzo under the  bridge.This gives the  player the possibility to  create a very defined comfortable sound on stage. the body is made of  Honduran mahogany with an Adirondack soundboard, that is finished with a  purple metallic nitro cellulose lacquer. All around the soundboard  there’s a  abalam  purfling with ivoroid binding. The tuning machines are from Grover  with MOP knobs. The bridge and fingerboard are  made of E.I.  Rosewood  glued  on a Honduran  mahogany neck.
 More detailed pictures following soon, when the guitar is coming home to  daddy for some adjustments. because it’s on the road now with Marly.
