HERITAGE SERIES CHECHEN OM
This OM-14 features a stunning Sitka spruce top, a wood that stands out due to its beautiful grain pattern and strong tonal capabilities. This wood forms a breathtaking combination with the Chechen body, which is the absolute eye-catcher of this guitar due to its spectacular appearance.
“Chechen has a clear, balanced character. It produces a bright sound with a good balance of bass, midrange, and treble frequencies none of which dominate the other. It’s an excellent all round tonewood for both fingerstyle and strumming.” -George Lowden
The Whitney OM has a 14 fret neck connection, and a smaller body than a dreadnought. This Whitney design is recognized for its responsive playability and for producing balanced crystal clear notes from one end of the scale to other. Unlike a dreadnought, the bass register does not dominate and this instrument is sure to be a favorite with fingerstyle soloists while also a perfect fit for a wide range of playing styles.
This 'as new' 2023 'Whitney' OM-14 is in excellent condition with zero play wear. Guitar includes a hardshell case.

WHY A WHITNEY GUITAR?
Finest Tonewoods
Tonewoods are complex and mysterious, with environmental conditions, genetics, tree age, growth patterns, grain orientation, and curing conditions affecting their tonal properties and how they respond. Careful consideration is
Design Elegance
Elegance is recognizable by its graceful and harmonious form. It is characterized by the flowing lines and complementary colors and proportions. A sense of completeness and balance is felt when no addition or subtraction is needed. Elegance is achieved when form and function harmonize and become inseparable.
Hand Crafted
Handcrafting the guitar with traditional tools guarantees that each component is precisely fitted, and every detail is meticulously finished to produce the best sounding guitar.
Responsive Design
When building a highly responsive guitar, two dominant factors must be considered: the weight and stiffness of the soundboard. These factors play a crucial role in determining the volume and tonal properties of the instrument.
Modern Construction
Innovative approaches are implemented into the construction process. Many of our guitars have structured sides and bolt-on-bolt-off necks with carbon fiber reinforcements. These features contribute to improved tonal output and increased instrument durability.
Custom Options
From soundports and arm bevels to Florentine cutaways and custom inlays, a wide range of options are available to help you design your ideal guitar. For more information, please do not hesitate to reach out.
