This Custom OMC represents a perfect marriage of traditional OM body voicing with modern playability enhancements. The combination of vintage-inspired appointments, premium materials, and professional features makes this an exceptionally versatile instrument suitable for both studio and stage performance. The aging toner treatment gives the spruce top a mature, played-in character while maintaining excellent projection and dynamic range.

Tonal Characteristics:
The solid spruce top with aging toner treatment produces a warm, broken-in tone with enhanced midrange presence. Combined with East Indian rosewood back/sides, this yields a balanced voice with crisp articulation, strong fundamentals, and complex overtones. The cutaway design maintains full body resonance while providing upper fret access.

Playability Features:
The modified low oval profile with high performance taper offers exceptional comfort for both chord work and lead playing. The 1-3/4" nut width and 16" radius accommodate various techniques, while the compensated bone saddle ensures precise intonation across the entire fingerboard.
