The OM guitar re-imagined

The OM, or “Orchestra Model” combines a full scale length with a slightly scaled down body – it is narrower and shallower than a “D” style guitar like the Atkin White Rice or Essential D.  The challenge for all OM builders is to allow for a rich, commanding bass in spite of the the smaller, more ergonomic body, and our hand-scalloped bracing and torrified select Sitka top allows us to make this a reality. Atkin's OM is popular with finger style guitar players, but in truth it’s a great all-rounder and suits singer-songwriters and folk artists as well. Atkin has departed in several ways from the classic pre-war style: A larger top dome, a lifetime-guaranteed neck/body joint, and a two-way truss rod are among the changes,  so this isn’t a historical reproduction, but a modern British-made guitar with heaps of mojo! The team at Atkin Guitars takes every part of the process seriously, and for good reason; great guitars are made up of so many special features and details. Some can be seen, and some of them are hidden, but one thing is for sure – they are committed to continuously evolving and improving the guitars they build.
