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.
