Huss & Dalton OM Custom - Curly Redwood & Cocobolo

The Huss & Dalton OM Custom – Curly Redwood & Cocobolo is a breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime instrument that exists at the rare intersection of luthier artistry, tonal majesty, and natural splendor. Built for the discerning player who seeks not just a guitar, but a lifelong companion of expressive depth and visual poetry, this OM is a testament to Huss & Dalton's commitment to pushing the boundaries of acoustic excellence. The top, carved from stunning curly redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), offers an exquisite blend of warmth and complexity, its shimmering grain patterns as captivating to the eye as its voice is to the ear. Paired with deep, dark Cocobolo (Dalbergia retusa) back and sides, the guitar yields a powerful low-end foundation with glassy trebles and a blooming, piano-like midrange that responds with elegance and soul to both a whisper and a strum.

Under the hood, Adirondack spruce braces set with hot hide glue construction channel maximum tonal transfer and resonance—techniques drawn straight from the golden age of guitar building. A Honduran mahogany neck provides stability and tonal sweetness, while every inch of the instrument is elevated by impeccable aesthetic details: koa binding along the body, fingerboard, and headstock brings warmth and contrast; a koa tail wedge, cocobolo heel cap, and a matching cocobolo headstock veneer integrate exotic wood elements into a harmonious whole. The ebony fingerboard and pyramid bridge speak to tradition, while short pattern abalone snowflake inlays, an abalone rosette, and a luminous abalone backstrip shimmer under light with an ethereal glow.

A 25.4" scale length, 1 3/4" nut width, and 2 5/16" bridge spacing deliver ideal modern OM playability—balanced and versatile, equally suited for fingerstyle precision or articulate strumming. Gold Waverly tuners with ebony buttons crown the guitar with a regal, tactile flourish, and a tortoise pickguard adds a final touch of vintage-inspired class. Weighing 4 lb 12 oz, it is remarkably resonant yet solid in the hands—a tactile reminder that you are holding something truly rare.

To play the Huss & Dalton OM Custom is to feel the presence of forests, firelight, and finesse—a voice that echoes stories yet to be told. It’s not just a guitar; it’s an heirloom, an inspiration, and a living piece of tonewood sculpture.
