They hung two and one sold before they could list it but it was a little size 2 parlor so we’ll see.
It is definitely a different vibe than The Podium but the acoustic room at the new store is nice and I like Nate so we’ll see.
The OM listed is a nice guitar, loud appealing tone and has carbon fiber tube headstock support struts to hopefully stabilize settling over time.

Actually jdd2 is right Bill. It does have the carbon bar neck supports on either side of the truss rod but also two 3/8” hollow carbon fiber tube struts supporting the headblock. You can see them in the soundhole pictures.

Flying buttresses is what I've heard those called. I've seen them in a Redgate, tho that was not the origin.
The pics on that site could be more than a little better (thought I could see something in there, likely black), but if they're enough to get things sold I guess that's the bottom line.

Do they go from the neck block to the end block?

Correct. This is that guitar. Double sides, Rosewood outer Maple inner. Good combination.  |

And what I think is called reversed kerfing, too.
