A beautifully resolved OM from one of the UK's most thoughtful luthiers. Jamie Swannell has built this guitar around a simple but exacting brief: nothing unnecessary, nothing compromised. The result is an instrument with real confidence in its own voice.
Overview
This OM exemplifies what a single maker working at the top of their craft can achieve. The aesthetic is deliberately clean and considered, the material choices are excellent throughout, and the execution is precise. It records exceptionally well and rewards close listening.

Tone and Feel
The guitar projects with a surprising depth for its size, with a rich and well-defined bass, focused midrange, and clear, articulate trebles. It sits particularly well under fingerstyle playing and handles chord work with equal composure. The neck is a comfortable C profile, unhurried and natural in the hand.
