Preston Thompson OM & 14-Fret 000

Prewar-style OM and 14-fret 000 acoustic guitars

This Preston Thompson family pairs the OM and the 14-fret 000, both with a relatively slim body depth that gives quickness to the sound and strong string-to-string and bass-to-treble balance. The longer OM scale generally gives more punch and volume for flat-pickers and fingerpickers, while the shorter 000 scale lowers string tension to suit fingerstyle and blues players. Both share Adirondack red spruce tops, advanced X-brace placement, hand-graduated tops, scalloped bracing, and dovetail neck joints.
