Barry Kerr has been building guitars since 1984. Over the last 3 decades, he has refined many of the traditional construction methods to produce an instrument that is beautiful and durable with great tone and volume. Specialising in archtop and OM-sized guitars, his forward-thinking designs and incorporation of carbon-fibre and composite bracing have yielded some phenomenal-sounding guitars, built right in our backyard. Sadly Barry no longer takes commissions for his work, making this guitar all the more special.
Part of Barry's lauded Brazilan Rosewood series, this stunning OM was constructed using reclaimed old-growth Brazilian Rosewood salvaged from antiques. Featuring not only solid Brazilian Rosewood back-and-sides, but also a solid Brazilian Rosewood neck and fretboard! Designed with an active back design, the tone is otherworldly, harmonically complex and incredibly loud!
The workmanship throughout is impeccable - check out the tasteful pinstriping on the back of the body, neck and headstock, and the playability is superb. It's superbly responsive, and responds beautifully to the lightest touch. Fingerstyle players will love it's detailed, nuanced tone with explosive harmonics and natural compression, and strummers will be blown away by it's sheer power. A wonderful example by one of Australia's finest luthiers.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain / colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument. If you have any questions at all regarding an instrument's appearance, just drop us a line - we're always happy to send photos, and if we have more than one instrument in stock you'll be able to choose the exact guitar that you receive!

AustraliaI’ve had a Barry Kerr dread for 35 years, still destroying my Gibsons and Martins with its tone, and his guitars have got better and better.
