An OMCE Designed for Modern Playing, Between Tradition and Refinement
With its OM format, the OMCE-QS Natural aims for the perfect balance: a responsive and precise body, sufficiently present for accompaniment while remaining very clear note by note. The choice of solid quilted sapele (back/sides) and the attention to aesthetic details (turquoise/magenta purflings, serpentwood rosette, gloss finishes) clearly position this model among character guitars, made to inspire both through sound and appearance.
For Whom and Which Styles?
This guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a versatile and expressive acoustic. The OM format and quick response are particularly suited for fingerstyle, pop/folk, blues, and nuanced accompaniment. The cutaway adds real comfort for playing high up the neck, whether in solo playing or arrangements.
Sound
The solid European spruce top provides a clear attack, harmonic richness, and excellent dynamics: it reacts immediately to right-hand variations, promoting nuance and precision. The solid sapele (back and sides) complements this with singing midrange, good projection, and a warmth close to mahogany, while maintaining good definition. The hand-scalloped X bracing optimizes top vibration, resulting in more openness, sustain, and resonance, particularly appreciated in picking and arpeggios.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original setup, prioritize a set of Phosphor Bronze acoustic strings with gauges .012 - .053 (like the factory-installed set). This ensures consistent feel and tension adapted to the instrument's acoustic balance.
