Max Spohn OM #17 Pau Ferro / Swiss Moon Spruce

$12,999.00

A striking handbuilt acoustic from Max Spohn / Spohn Guitars, this instrument brings together modern voicing, exceptional responsiveness, and a distinctive visual identity that immediately sets it apart.

The combination of a light Moon Spruce top and Pau Ferro back & sides produces a voice that is warm, focused, and highly articulate. The guitar offers strong, balanced mids, clear projection, and singing trebles, with the immediacy and dynamic response that make it particularly rewarding for modern fingerstyle playing.

It has that rare quality of feeling alive under the hands—quick and responsive without becoming overly bright or thin, while retaining plenty of depth, sustain, and control.

Visually, the build is equally considered. Ebony appointments, signature line inlays, and the custom teal Calton hardshell case give the instrument a memorable identity that feels integral to the design rather than simply decorative. It’s a sophisticated modern boutique acoustic with the character and individuality you expect from a small-shop, handbuilt instrument.
