Flawless craftsmanship has been combined with the finest and most beautiful materials. The result: this incredible-sounding, hand-built OM by Preston Thompson, featuring a stunning Regency Torch inlay on the headstock! Preston Thompson built his reputation on handmade guitars closely based on the dimensions and tonal qualities of the iconic steel-string instruments of the 1930s. From the small workshop in Sisters, Oregon, each guitar is crafted entirely by hand, with great attention to the playing experience and the sound of the finest instruments from that golden era. Preston Thompson passed away in 2019, but the dedicated team he left behind continues his work with the same care and standards.The OM at Thompson is a classic model, equally suited to fingerstyle and flatpicking, and known for its responsiveness, articulation, and clarity. The combination of a solid Adirondack spruce top and a mahogany body results in a warm, direct tone with plenty of clarity and definition to let every note shine. The scalloped X-bracing contributes to the guitar’s lightweight build, delivering quick response and rich tonal color.The Regency Torch is the most popular headstock inlay design offered by Thompson. Developed by inlay artist Simon Haycraft, this inlay perfectly completes this beautiful OM. Comes in a TKL hardshell case with TFOA passport.
