This Custom OM represents a perfect balance of traditional craftsmanship and modern playability, designed for the discerning player who demands both exceptional tone and premium aesthetics. The combination of vintage-inspired features and contemporary enhancements makes this a truly versatile professional instrument.

The combination of solid spruce top and East Indian rosewood back/sides produces a balanced tone with crisp highs, articulate mids, and warm bass response. The scalloped X-bracing enhances volume and projection while maintaining excellent note separation. The OM body shape offers exceptional versatility for both fingerstyle and flatpicking.

Playability Features:
The modified low oval neck profile with high performance taper provides exceptional comfort and fast action. The 1-3/4" nut width and 16" radius fingerboard accommodate various playing styles. The compensated bone saddle ensures precise intonation across the entire fretboard.
