AVAILABLE STUDIO GUITARS
Studio guitars are essentially new instruments that have been used as demonstration models in my climate-controlled studio. Any cosmetic imperfections are extremely minor, often barely visible, such as slight swirl marks or minimal play wear. These guitars retain the full limited warranty, receive the same meticulous setup, and undergo our white-glove inspection before shipping.

STUDIO GUITAR
HS CHECHEN OM
This Heritage Series 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.

STUDIO SERIES
HS SANTOS ROSEWOOD OM
This Heritage Series OM-14 acoustic guitar, featuring an Engelmann spruce soundboard and Santos Rosewood back and sides, offers a uniquely balanced and expressive tonal character.
The Engelmann spruce imparts a warm, mellow tone with a rich midrange and complex overtones, making it exceptionally responsive to a player's touch, particularly in fingerstyle and vocal accompaniment settings. This wood's inherent warmth and nuanced complexity provide a sophisticated sonic foundation.
Complementing the spruce, the Santos Rosewood back and sides contribute a balanced tonal palette, falling between the warmth of Indian Rosewood and the clarity of maple. This wood delivers distinct articulation, ensuring each note is clearly defined, and offers excellent sustain and projection, allowing the guitar's voice to resonate fully. Notably, the Santos Rosewood emphasizes the midrange frequencies, adding a focused and articulate quality to the overall sound.
When these woods are paired within the OM body size, renowned for its balanced and articulate sound, the resulting instrument achieves remarkable versatility. The warmth and depth of the Engelmann spruce meld seamlessly with the clarity, balance, and projection of the Santos Rosewood, creating a guitar that excels in various playing styles, from delicate fingerstyle to robust flatpicking and strumming. The guitar's responsiveness and balanced tonal profile, coupled with the noticeable midrange focus, make it a valuable tool for players seeking an instrument capable of expressing a wide range of musical emotions.
This 'as new' 2023 'Whitney' OM-14 is in excellent condition with zero play wear. Guitar includes a hardshell case.
