John Calkin - an 11 year employee and well known Luthier, designed this deep bodied Custom OM. "For balanced tone and good volume, the OM shape has been my favorite for some time. I thought a deeper body would add some oomph to the overall package, and it seems that it has. Claro walnut is my favorite tone wood. It puts out as much as any other wood, and nothing can touch it for beauty. Just from listening to finished H&Ds I’ve become a red spruce believer, so it was a natural choice for this guitar. The koa trim is my fave, as are the abalone trim details. The walnut neck may add some sustain over mahogany, and of course, it fits the theme better. The frailing scoop and oval soundhole are just for fun, but who knows if they contribute anything sonically? The fine tone of the guitar suggests that they might. The fact that it’s a flattop rather than a radiused top also makes this model punchier." John Calkin FREE SHIPPING TO THE U.S.A.!
