Flamed Koa for Bright, Warm Tone
The all-koa construction of this Custom Shop OM produces a bright, articulate sound that grows richer with time. The unique tonal qualities of koa combine warmth and clarity, while the flamed grain of the wood gives this guitar a striking visual appeal. Whether you’re fingerpicking or strumming, the koa delivers a balanced tone with plenty of projection.
European Flame Maple Binding and Premium Rosette
The visual elegance of this guitar is enhanced by the European flame maple binding, which outlines the body in a stunning contrast to the koa. The 45-style abalone rosette adds a further touch of class, making this instrument as much a work of art as it is a musical tool. These luxurious details elevate the guitar’s appearance, ensuring it stands out on any stage.
