Huss & Dalton TOM-M – Blue Denim Bearclaw Sitka Top with Sinker Mahogany Back and Sides

Blue Denim Sitka is a sinker wood that was used for structures and bound by iron spikes. The iron and water created a blue coloration resulting in a unique and striking patina. Supply of this wood is all but exhausted, so very few guitars will be made going forward.

The Huss & Dalton TOM-M is a Traditional Series Orchestra Model (OM) that offers a comfortable, balanced playing experience with exceptional clarity and warmth. This custom build features a striking Blue Denim Bearclaw Sitka spruce top paired with old-growth sinker mahogany back and sides, creating a refined, versatile instrument ideal for fingerstyle, recording, songwriting, or light strumming.

Key Features & Tonewoods

• Top: Solid Blue Denim Bearclaw Sitka spruce. This special Sitka exhibits a distinctive blueish-green hue. Sitka provides strong projection, clear note definition, and a lively response across the frequency spectrum.
• Back & Sides: Solid sinker mahogany. Sourced from river-recovered old-growth logs, this dense, naturally seasoned wood offers enhanced stability, warmth, and tonal complexity with rich mids, smooth bass, and articulate trebles that develop beautifully over time.
• Neck & Fretboard: Mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard. Standard scale length is 25.4".
• Construction: Flat-top design with scalloped red spruce bracing for responsive vibration and dynamic sensitivity.
• Case: Includes a deluxe hardshell case.

The OM body shape delivers an even tonal balance with excellent note separation and comfort for extended play. The combination of Blue Denim Sitka and sinker mahogany yields a warm, articulate voice with clear fundamentals, subtle sparkle, and strong midrange presence—versatile enough for intricate fingerpicking or ensemble work.

Handcrafted in Staunton, Virginia, this TOM-M reflects Huss & Dalton’s dedication to premium tonewoods and meticulous build quality. A sophisticated choice for players who appreciate refined mahogany tone with unique visual character.
