Paul Asbell, Part 3: Paul’s Julius Borges OM
In this video, Paul Asbell discusses his Julius Borges (borgesguitars.com) OM guitar and performs his original tune, “Bound for Adamant.” Built with an Adirondack spruce top and Brazilian rosewood back and sides, the guitar is a close replica of an original 1930s Martin OM-28, though it has modern features such as an adjustable truss rod and standard frets rather than bar frets. The guitar has a pyramid bridge and Waverly tuning machines, and Asbell has installed a K&K pickup system, as well as a John Pearse armrest. paulasbell.com
