The Michel Aboudib MA-M Jura Spruce & African Blackwood is an extraordinary fusion of modern luthiery, fine art, and global craftsmanship, a deeply personal interpretation of the OM cutaway that pushes the boundaries of what a contemporary acoustic guitar can be. Every element of this instrument reflects Michel Aboudib’s unmistakable design philosophy, where tonal sophistication and visual artistry exist in complete harmony.
At the heart of the guitar is a rare Jura spruce top sourced from France, chosen for its remarkable responsiveness, clarity, and refined dynamic character. Paired with African blackwood back and sides, the instrument delivers an exceptionally rich and complex voice, combining the power and overtone depth of rosewood with the focus and articulation often associated with ebony. The result is a sound that feels expansive yet controlled, with piano-like lows, glassy trebles, and extraordinary sustain.
The OM cutaway body shape gives the guitar remarkable versatility and balance, equally suited for nuanced fingerstyle playing and articulate flatpicking. Its carefully refined dimensions create a responsive, intimate feel while still offering impressive projection and tonal authority. The 645 mm scale length provides excellent string tension and clarity, while the generous 57.15 mm bridge spacing offers precision and comfort for complex right-hand technique.
Visually, the guitar is nothing short of breathtaking. Aboudib’s use of traditional Japanese urushi lacquer elevates the instrument into the realm of functional art. The Negoro urushi rosette against the Jura spruce top creates a striking contrast between organic texture and refined craftsmanship, while decorative fish skin elements finished in urushi introduce a level of detail rarely seen in modern guitar building. These handcrafted artistic touches give the instrument a sense of individuality and cultural depth that feels entirely unique.
The Honduran mahogany neck is finished in smooth Fuki urushi, creating a tactile playing experience that feels luxurious and organic in the hand. African blackwood is carried through the fingerboard and bridge, visually tying the instrument together with elegant continuity. Even the smallest details receive extraordinary attention, from the Negoro urushi tuner buttons and bridge pins to the gleaming Gotoh 510 X-Gold tuners that add a refined touch of modern precision.
Tonally and physically, the guitar feels alive. The thin polyurethane body finish allows the woods to resonate freely while preserving the intricate visual work beneath it. At 5 lbs 4 oz, the instrument carries a reassuring presence without sacrificing responsiveness or comfort.
The Michel Aboudib MA-M Jura Spruce & African Blackwood is far more than a high-end acoustic guitar. It is a collector-grade expression of contemporary luthiery, blending French tonewoods, African blackwood, Japanese urushi artistry, and world-class craftsmanship into an instrument that feels as inspiring visually as it does sonically.
