The RS7SM Rathbone No.7 Orchestra Model is an all-solid tonewood beauty, pairing a solid Sitka Spruce top with solid Mahogany back and sides for a much-loved traditional aesthetic and sound. The OM body shape produces a naturally responsive and voluminous tone, further enhanced by the classic combination of all-solid Spruce and Mahogany tonewoods. You can expect a sweet, warm voice delivered with superb poise and balance – ideal for the guitarist with an affection for a truly authentic acoustic sound paired with a timeless vibe. Although 'OM'-sized guitars are not large by modern standards, the neck joins the body at the 14th fret, giving the longer scale length we recognise from most modern guitars. That scale delivers a remarkably powerful and dynamic tone, with the strings under greater tension for far greater tonal response and 'punch'.
