The OM/PW Pre-War Orchestra Model honors its pre-WWII predecessors with an advanced X and scalloped top bracing. This time-tested design ensures large bass response and overall volume. Acoustic Guitar Magazine has placed it as one of the most important instruments of the last 20 years. The OM/PW is presented with understated appointments to emphasize master grade materials, tone and workmanship. The OM’s versatility and ergonomics lend great appeal for traditional picking styles and impressive rhythm work. Expect the predominant bass and throaty presence of the surviving pre-war antiques.
Custom built with Mahogany Mama back and sides, a highly flamed set from a prized single tree that fell in Belize during Hurricane Arthur in 2008 revealing this wonderful tight flame figure throughout. The top is a perfect pairing of a well seasoned set of Old Growth Sitka Spruce, aged and sounding just like the original vintage stuff.
