The bright Iced Tea Sunburst top on this Pre-War OM-18 feels perfectly suited to its warm, sparkly tone! Folks who know Pre-War know they do everything right in terms of capturing the sonic qualities of those Golden Era instruments, including using hot hide glue, dovetail neck joints, scalloped bracing, and torrefied tops. This OM-18 rivals a great vintage guitar—it's lightweight, lively and responsive, and can be sweet when fingerpicked or loud and punchy with a flatpick. The neck is modeled after a 1937, going from a more rounded C profile near the nut to a V shape up the neck. It even has the Level One aging, which means consistent finish crazing across the body but no dings and scuffs. It's like uncovering the perfect closet queen! Ships out in an Original hardshell case.
