A very special Michaud 00 guitar has just arrived. It has a stunning set of quilted maple for the back and sides and a Swiss moon Spruce too. It features special gold inlay in the middle of the fret markers. The beautiful Maple theme continues on the fretboard and bridge. The tone is quick with trebles that sustain forever.

2022 Michaud OM-R Panamanian Rosewood/Mastergrade Swiss Moon Spruce

A very special build just for Cedar Rock, here is a 2022 Michaud OM-R. Like with all of Joels builds, they are a favorite here at Cedar Rock, but this one has some extra special mojo! It features a Panamanian Rosewood B/S with a perfectly voiced Euro Moon Spruce top. Its bound all the way around with Madagascan Rosewood, and also has a very vibrant Madagascan Fretboard and bridge. To top is off, Joel added some gorgeous Burl Inlays throughout the guitar. The setup up on this build is absolutely flawless, and has a very comfortable string feel being 25″ scale length (without losing tone in lower tunings as well!). The shape of the OM-R is very comfy on the lap and is made extra comfortable thanks to an added 1/2″ “Manzer” Wedge. Gold HAP Gotoh tuners and a Visenut case.

This 00 packs a serious wallop! Beautiful midrange sustain for fingerstyle and a warm, full bass due to the lively back design and double-sided construction. The fully-beveled body with thin satin finish makes this beauty feel like a true player’s guitar. Talk about couch candy! It’s in like new condition and comes with a Visesnut flight case.

A truly remarkable guitar built by Joel Michaud. This one features two of our favorite tonewoods in the business and their characteristics together are a match made in tone heaven. The Swiss Moon Spruce is lively, responsive to a light touch and rich in harmonics while the mahogany ushers in those woody fundamentals to keep the overall clarity in check. Such a joy playing this one for fingerstyle and light strumming alike. The bass response is pleasantly surprising and pleasing to work with – not at all overpowering, just enough to lay the foundation for your pieces!

This OM-R by Joel Michaud has it it all. As soon as we strummed the first chord on this Michaud Made OM we knew it was something special. The clarity and string seperation is unreal. This set of  Mastergrade Brazilian is something to look at. The attention to detail of Joel work is truly a piece of art. Playability is perfect on it with the manzer wedge and arm bevel. And the soundport just adds a little more of that sweetness back at you. This guitar is in excellent condition.

Wow! This is our first guitar from Joel Michaud of Michaud Made Guitars and we are extremely impressed. There is heaps of responsiveness and power behind this small guitar, more than enough to satisfy those who are generally used to 15.5″-16″ wide guitars! For a short-scale this little beauty handles DADGAD and even down to C just fine and the playability does NOT get any better! We are proud to offer guitars from builders of this caliber here at Cedar Rock Studio Guitar Gallery.
