Why This Guitar
This instrument is crafted in the traditional Bahraini/Gulf style, featuring a fretless ebony fingerboard that is essential for producing the fluid slides and microtonal (quarter-tone) notes central to Arabic and Middle Eastern music. Its authentic design provides a genuine playing experience for musicians dedicated to the style.
The combination of a solid Sitka Spruce top and a Walnut bowl-back body creates a classic oud tonal profile. Expect a sound that is warm, resonant, and woody, with the spruce top providing excellent clarity and projection for every note.
This oud arrives ready for your musical journey, complete with a protective gig bag for safe storage and convenient travel. An extra set of strings is also included, ensuring you have a backup on hand when it's time for a replacement.
