Brand New Atkin OM37 with a torrefied Sitka Spruce soundboard and Indian Rosewood back and sides. Long scale at 25.4; 1-11/16" nut width. Aged Nitro finish.
Here's how Atkin describes it: "The OM, or “Orchestra Model” combines a full scale length with a slightly scaled down body – it is narrower and shallower than a “D” style guitar like our White Rice or Essential D. The challenge for all OM builders is to allow for a rich, commanding bass in spite of the the smaller, more ergonomic body, and our hand-scalloped bracing and torrefied select Sitka top allows us to make this a reality.
Our OM is popular with fingerstyle guitar players, but in truth it’s a great all-rounder and suits singer-songwriters and folk artists as well.
We’ve departed in several ways from the classic pre-war style: A larger top dome, our lifetime-guaranteed neck/body joint, and a two-way truss rod are among the changes, so this isn’t a historical reproduction, but a modern British-made guitar with heaps of mojo!"
Be sure to check out the demonstration video of this guitar, where The Fretted Buffalo's Doug and Matt compare this OM 37 with an Atkin OOO37!
