Here we have a tremendously versatile OM from Luthier Hiro Ebata of Japan. Hiro is known for having studied with Ervin Somogyi and the lineage is easy to see and to hear. This OM is superb, we all really love it. The voice is very strong and full with sincere trebles that really sing out. Hiro's OM shape, like Somogyi's, is slightly oversized so the bass response is slightly enhance compared to typical Martin size OM guitars. The shorter 25" scale and fingerstyle nut and saddle make it a joy to play. Hiro's craftsmanship is nothing short of spectacular, clean lines and perfect joints. The Adirondack Top adds power and headroom to the clarity and sparkle of the Indian Rosewood box. Super guitar in every way. If you've longed for a Somogyi here is a direct descendant of that wonderful family.
