The Huss & Dalton OM-C with rosewood back and sides is a stunning, handcrafted cutaway orchestra model that blends classic OM proportions with elegant modern refinements, delivering exceptional balance, projection, and fingerstyle-friendly response.

Built in the USA by the master luthiers at Huss & Dalton in Staunton, Virginia, this OM-C (Orchestra Model with Venetian cutaway) features a Sitka spruce top matched with luxurious Indian rosewood back and sides. The rosewood imparts rich, complex harmonics, robust low-end warmth, crystalline highs, and excellent sustain, while the spruce top provides quick attack, clarity, and dynamic versatility—making it a favorite for fingerstyle, flatpicking, and singer-songwriter applications.

The soft Venetian cutaway offers effortless access to the upper frets, paired with a radiused top for enhanced structural strength and focused mid-range punch. This 14-fret-to-body design yields a bold yet refined voice with plenty of headroom and note separation, ideal for both intimate settings and stage performance.

Key features include:

• Abalone rosette and tortoise pickguard for timeless visual appeal
• Ebony fingerboard and bridge
• Mahogany neck with a comfortable modified profile
• Gold Gotoh tuners
• 25.4" scale length 

The OM-C's tone is articulate and even across the spectrum, with the rosewood/spruce combination producing a mature, woody complexity that opens up beautifully over time. Compared to smaller bodies like the OOO, it offers more volume and bass authority while retaining sweetness and clarity—perfect for players who want an all-around performer with cutaway convenience and boutique craftsmanship.

Whether you're exploring intricate fingerstyle lines, strumming chords with nuance, or recording in the studio, this Standard OM-C in rosewood back and sides stands as a pinnacle of American acoustic guitar making: refined, responsive, and built to inspire for generations.
