There are guitars that impress with their appointments, and there are guitars that captivate with their voice. The Huss & Dalton TOM-R Custom manages to do both at an exceptionally high level. Combining a stunning Bearclaw Italian Spruce top with premium Madagascar Rosewood back and sides, this custom-built TOM-R represents everything that has made Huss & Dalton one of the most respected names in boutique acoustic guitar building for over three decades.
Founded by master craftsmen Mark Dalton and Jeff Huss in the rolling hills of Virginia, Huss & Dalton built their reputation through an unwavering commitment to traditional hand-building techniques, meticulous attention to detail, and an ear for tone that rivals any builder in the world. In recent years, under the leadership of Brian Dickel, the company has continued to evolve while remaining fiercely dedicated to the principles that established its reputation. The result is a workshop that produces instruments with remarkable consistency, musicality, and refinement, while still retaining the soul and individuality that only true hand-built guitars possess.
The TOM-R has long been considered one of Huss & Dalton's most versatile and beloved body styles. Comfortable in the lap yet surprisingly powerful, it delivers an ideal balance between responsiveness, projection, and articulation. Fingerstyle players will appreciate its sensitivity and dynamic range, while flatpickers will find plenty of headroom and authority when digging in. This custom example elevates that formula even further.
The Bearclaw Italian Spruce top is visually captivating, displaying the distinctive figuring that collectors and connoisseurs seek out for its rarity and character. Tonally, Italian Spruce combines the quick response and clarity of European spruces with exceptional overtone complexity and warmth. Paired with Madagascar Rosewood, one of the most coveted tonewoods available today, the result is a voice that is rich, expansive, and beautifully balanced. Deep piano-like bass notes anchor the sound, while shimmering trebles and a colorful harmonic bloom create an immersive listening experience.
Visually, this TOM-R Custom is every bit as impressive as its voice. Curly Koa bindings frame the body, fingerboard, and headstock with striking contrast and elegance. Traditional herringbone top purfling, a classic rosette, and Huss & Dalton's signature zipper backstrip pay homage to the golden-era instruments that inspired generations of builders. The Madagascar Rosewood headstock veneer ties the design together beautifully, while the Abalone Spring Vine inlays adorning the fingerboard, headstock, and bridge wings provide a tasteful touch of artistry without overwhelming the guitar's natural beauty.
Additional premium features include an ebony fingerboard and bridge, a tortoise pickguard, and nickel Huss & Dalton-branded Gotoh tuning machines with oval buttons that provide smooth, reliable tuning stability. With a 25.4" scale length, 1 3/4" nut width, and 2 7/32" bridge spacing, this TOM-R offers a familiar and comfortable playing experience that accommodates both intricate fingerstyle work and expressive flatpicking. Weighing just 4 lbs 7 oz, it feels remarkably alive and resonant in the hands, responding effortlessly to every nuance of the player.
Elegant, responsive, and undeniably musical, this Huss & Dalton TOM-R Custom is a showcase of what happens when world-class craftsmanship meets extraordinary materials. It is a guitar built not only to be admired, but to inspire for decades to come. Complete with its deluxe Huss & Dalton tweed case, this is a truly exceptional instrument from one of America's premier boutique builders.
