StewMac OM Acoustic Guitar Kit, Dovetail Neck, Torrefied Top, Mahogany Back & Sides

The only OM kit available with the features from the original era!

This is an accurate representation of a 1933 Martin OM—period correct shape, bridge and pickguard. The body shape and bracing patterns were taken directly from a 1933 OM. Now you can build a great sounding OM from AAA-grade tonewoods with the advantage of precision machining from our Ohio shop:

• Carved mahogany neck
• Accurately bent sides
• Bookmatched back, joined and cut to shape
• AAA spruce top with soundhole and rosette channel
• Slotted fingerboard, ready for frets

Designed with your success in mind

With the kit, you get a lot of help to make sure your guitar turns out great. The full-size blueprint is modeled after a prized vintage Martin, and shows exactly how every part fits. A sturdy cardboard body mold holds the guitar sides in the perfect contour as you build.

The instruction book and step-by-step DVD (included with the kit) are really a short course in guitarmaking with luthiers Todd Sams and Dan Erlewine. No other kit has anything like it.

You don't need a big shop

We've done the critical machining, so the neck joint and other parts fit well right from the start. A slotted bone nut and shaped bone saddle are included, along with inlays, bindings and our two-way Hot Rod truss rod. (We know that tuning machines are something you'll prefer to choose for yourself.)
