Lightly played and owned by one of our customers for just a short period of time, with about an hours' worth of playing time on it, here's a Huss & Dalton OM Custom with a torrified Sitka Spruce top and a gorgeous set of Madagascar Rosewood for the back and sides. We are happy to have this wonderful guitar back in the shop! Great sounding and easy to play, this guitar fits perfectly in your arms and against your body while it resonates in your core - one of the sweetest guitars to come our way in quite a while! Well balanced, with great sustain, it's another fine example of luthier art from our friends in the Shenandoah Valley of the Great State of Virginia!
The tonal balance that this guitar exhibits is in large part due to the way in which Huss & Dalton builds a 25 ft radius into the soundboard of its Standard Series guitars, sanding an arch into the bracing and preparing the guitars sides with a matching radius to accept the top. This produces a boost in the mid range, creating a noticeably more balanced tone than your more traditional flat top guitars.
Please take a few minutes to check out the attached video. Thanks to our good friend Doug Yeomans, you can get a pretty good idea of how this guitar is likely to perform in your own hands! Call us to discuss this wonderful guitar
