Shabby Chic custom Short Scale OM with wedge body and Ryan-style armrest bevel: Sold out


We are pleased to offer the Shabby Chic short scale OM in sitka spruce and mahogany. With a 24.9" scale, 1-3/4" wide neck at the nut, slim 'D' profile, Manzer-style wedge-shaped body and a Ryan-style armrest bevel these are extrodinarily comfortable guitars to play, but the real beauty of these instruments is their tone. Our luthier thoughtfully voiced each top's bracing using the principles he learned studying under Ervin Somogyi in order to bring out the kind of well defined bass, great clarity, volume, and separation of notes that are usually only found on one-off guitars from world-class builders.
