Ösel

Introducing the Miles Henderson-Smith ‘Ösel’ Guitar; an excellent instrument based predominantly on a Torres SE114. Meticulously handcrafted with impressive attention to detail, this instrument showcases the perfect fusion of Torres’ timeless design and Miles’ modern craftsmanship.

Aptly named ‘Ösel’ (meaning ‘clear), this spruce top guitar with Cypress back and sides has a voice of immense clarity; a trait all top level players will appreciate. The guitar features a carefully selected European spruce soundboard, renowned for its exceptional tonal qualities. This high-quality tonewood delivers a clean and clear voice and responds quickly to the subtle nuances of your playing.

The back and sides of the ‘Ösel’ guitar are crafted from exquisite cypress, chosen for its striking appearance and sonorous tonal properties. Cypress lends a unique character to the guitar’s sound, offering a tone which is crisp in detail yet full in tone, with distinct clarity and resonance in perfect balance.

A 640mm scalelength makes this a highly attractive proposition for players with a shorter wingspan, or those who prefer a slightly more compact instrument than your typical 650mm model.

A sublime oil finish allows you to feel somehow closer to the guitar and lets the instrument to breathe, whilst still offering the wood plenty of protection from the elements. The ‘Ösel’ guitar’s elegant aesthetics and flawless craftsmanship make it a true work of art that will captivate both your eyes and ears.

Immerse yourself in the rich tonal palette and exceptional playability of this exquisite instrument.
