Up for sale, we have this lovely Wilborn EllieBelle OM guitar. This is a superb example of Ben’s craftsmanship with tone that is as compelling as the appearance. The voicing is powerful and articulate with playability that exceeds anything I’ve experienced in an acoustic. Whether the player is using finger style or flat picking, this guitar is extremely expressive and is hard to put down. An absolute work of art.
Ben’s traditionally inspired guitars are rarely seen on the market as he focuses most of his time building his more modern Comma Series guitars. This one is X-braced with some top shelf flamed mahogany and a premium set of red spruce for the top. This also incorporates a comfort arm bevel and rim soundport which is an added specialty to his builds. The nut is 1 3/4” and the neck shape is a very comfortable modern C profile. Included are two saddles - the original 2-3/16”s that Ben made and then another crafted to spread the spacing slightly to 2-1/4”. Includes a strong and lightweight Visesnut case which now sells for close to $700 new.
With Ben’s current prices starting at $10,000 and a closed build queue due to high demand, this is a great opportunity for someone in the market for one of these amazing guitars. More photos are available upon request. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
