Dearnaley O-14 – Spruce / Rosewood – K&K Pickup – 14th Fret – Slotted Headstock – w/ Hiscox Case

Here’s something truly special out of the Dearnaley workshop — a beautifully crafted O-14 that brings classic tonewoods, modern playability, and understated British luthiery together in a guitar that feels alive in your hands.

This one features a solid spruce top paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, delivering that articulate, piano-like clarity with warm, blooming overtones and a strong low-end. Notes ring with definition, but there's a lushness behind every chord that makes it hard to put down.

The nine-piece neck is a thing of beauty — not just visually, but structurally solid and resonant, capped off with a slotted headstock and Gotoh SEP700 tuners that feel smooth and precise, just like everything else about this build.

The body joins at the 14th fret, giving you that bit of extra reach for modern players while keeping the smaller-bodied, fingerstyle-friendly proportions of a traditional O-model. And yes — it’s fitted with a K&K Pure Mini pickup, so it’s gig-ready right out of the gate, with a natural, dynamic sound that responds beautifully to touch.

Comes in a Hiscox hardshell case, because a guitar this nice deserves proper protection.
