Description: This OM/PW is alive! I connected with this instrument from the first chord strummed. Sound Pure has a healthy rotation of acoustic guitars coming in and going out. Every once and while a very special piece comes through our doors. This OM/PW is a guitar that can handle a wide range of dynamics and playing styles. From the lightest finger picking to the hardest strumming, it stands out, and in the best way possible.
Feeling the vibrations in your lap more so than many other acoustics, due to it's lightweight construction, provides the feeling of a guitar you've been playing your whole life. It's a truly insirational OM. I can imagine in only a matter of years, this guitar will sound and play better than guitars that cost thousands more.
It features stunning dark rosewood on the back and sides and an even-grained Sitka top. The voicing of this guitar is unreal! There's a vocal-like quality to it's overall tone. My hands and ears just can't get enough. I wrote this minutes after playing this guitar, right out of the box. I was just that excited about it!

The OM Pre-War Model is designed with many of the features in bracing and tone that the emerging singer-songwriter, the working musician, or a serious amateur will find desirable at a price before unheard of in guitars of this caliber.
The advanced X braces, which is the bracing pattern "Pre-War" refers to, is a good tonal option for those using the guitar for smaller accompaniment or rhythm. This style bracing gives the smaller bodied OM an incredible presence and bass response, yet retains a good balance with strong midrange and bright powerful response.
