Sale Pending - 2022 - Gage Halland OM-H - Adirondack Spruce & Indian Rosewood

The 2022 Gage Halland OM-H is what happens when modern acoustic guitar design meets old world luthiery at the very highest level. Gage Halland is widely respected for building instruments that combine breathtaking craftsmanship with a fearless pursuit of tonal excellence, and his time studying under Michael Greenfield shows in every detail of this guitar. Greenfield’s influence on structural innovation, voicing, and harmonic balance is unmistakable here, and Gage has taken those lessons and shaped them into a voice that is unmistakably his own.

This OM-H is built around a master grade Adirondack spruce top paired with rich, resonant Indian rosewood back and sides. Adirondack brings explosive headroom, lightning fast response, and a huge dynamic ceiling, while Indian rosewood delivers the deep, piano like bass, sparkling highs, and complex overtone bloom players crave from a world class OM. Gage’s X braced with lattice architecture allows the top to move with incredible efficiency, producing a voice that is both powerful and incredibly nuanced, with effortless projection and exceptional clarity even under a heavy right hand.

Visually, this guitar is nothing short of stunning. The Buckeye burl and blue paua rosette adds a dramatic, organic focal point, while the blue and orange soundboard purfling gives the top a subtle but striking frame. Violin style purfling on the back, sides, and headstock adds a refined, old world elegance that sets this instrument apart from anything coming out of a factory. Ebony binding ties the entire look together with a clean, sophisticated edge.

The gloss finish on the body, neck, and headstock gives the guitar a deep, glassy glow while also allowing the wood to resonate freely. Jescar EVO gold frets provide a smooth, fast feel with exceptional longevity, and the 1.75 inch nut with 2.25 inch bridge spacing creates a perfect platform for fingerstyle, modern flatpicking, or anything in between. The 25.4 inch scale length gives the guitar a little extra tension and snap, contributing to its authoritative low end and articulate top end. Gold Gotoh 510 tuning machines with black buttons deliver flawless tuning stability with a touch of understated luxury.

Although this guitar is technically used, it is in immaculate condition and has been meticulously maintained. It presents and performs like a near new instrument, with no issues, no wear of note, and no compromises. At just 5 lb 3 oz, it is remarkably light and lively in the hands, a hallmark of a truly great build.

It ships in a premium Hoffee flight case, giving you the peace of mind that this exceptional instrument will be protected wherever it goes.

This is a serious, no apologies OM for the player who wants cutting edge luthiery, jaw dropping beauty, and a voice that can move from intimate and delicate to bold and orchestral with ease. Gage Halland’s work is already turning heads across the boutique guitar world, and this OM H stands as a powerful example of why.
