1997 Huss & Dalton OM Custom Natural Acoustic Guitar, Serial #076.. ...
Description
1997 Huss & Dalton OM Custom Natural Acoustic Guitar, Serial #076.This OM Custom represents a significant chapter in Huss & Dalton's early history. Built in 1997, it hails from the company's formative years when production numbers were low and every instrument received a personal touch. The relationship between the builders and Steve Spellman of The Guitar Shop played a key role in Huss & Dalton's emergence as a premier boutique acoustic brand. This particular guitar, with its rich Honduran rosewood and articulate spruce top, exemplifies the tonal clarity, balance, and responsiveness that define their OM models. Its excellent condition, combined with its provenance and early serial number, make it a desirable instrument for collectors and discerning players alike. Whether you're seeking boutique craftsmanship or a historical piece from the golden era of small-shop American luthiery, this OM Custom delivers on all fronts.
Original hard case included. Condition: Excellent.
