An "Orchestra Model" Spirit with a Timeless Look
With its OM body size (approximately 15" / 381 mm body width), the E1OM-CLA Classic follows the tradition of versatile parlor guitars, designed to offer both precision and projection. The "Classic" version emphasizes understated elegance: classic rosette, tortoise shell imitation bindings and purflings, and pearl details on the headstock and fingerboard.
For Whom and Which Styles?
This model is especially suited for demanding beginners to intermediate guitarists seeking an expressive acoustic, as well as for advanced musicians looking for a comfortable OM format. Its balance makes it very comfortable for fingerstyle, folk, blues, vocal accompaniment, and arpeggios, while retaining enough response for moderate strumming.
Sound
The solid Sitka spruce top provides clarity, dynamics, and excellent attack definition, while the solid sapele (back and sides) enhances the midrange with controlled warmth and a nice presence for accompaniment. The hand-scalloped X bracing promotes sound openness and projection, while maintaining good string-to-string balance typical of OM formats. The ebony fingerboard and bridge add precision and quick response, and the combination of bone nut and bone saddle contributes to clear sustain and stable intonation.
