Model No. 1 is a contemporary reimagining of the iconic 'OM' or Orhestral Model guitar. In its development, I've strived to honor the time-tested elements that make the OM so beloved, while carefully integrating several modern design and structural enhancements to elevate its performance for today's player.
These innovations include a meticulously reimagined body shape, sculpted to optimize comfort and tonal balance, and structured sides, engineered to enhance resonance and structural stability. Additionally, my Model No. 1 features a fully removable (yet elegantly concealed) bolted neck joint, often referred to as a 'bolt-on-bolt-off' connection, a design choice that offers both increased stability and simplified maintenance.
This harmonious blend of classic inspiration and modern innovation is what defines the Model No. 1. It is an instrument that seamlessly fuses the OM's renowned versatility with refined features, creating a guitar that not only pays tribute to the past but also pushes the boundaries of what an acoustic guitar can achieve. Whether you're a seasoned fingerstyle virtuoso or a passionate flatpicking enthusiast, the Model No. 1 is designed to inspire and empower your musical journey.
