This Bashkin OMC is a traditional OM at its core, but thoughtfully elevated by several highly effective modern details. The fan-fret design and cutaway feel like completely natural enhancements, noticeably improving both comfort and playability without sacrificing the instrument’s classic character. The neck is slim yet hand-filling, with plenty of room across the fingerboard for precision and ease of movement. Tonally, it is highly expressive, offering excellent midrange presence, distinct lows, and articulate highs. The koa back and sides contribute a dry, focused response with a richness and “sticky” harmonic quality that feels even more pronounced than typical mahogany. Combined with Bashkin’s fantastic artisanal design touches, this guitar is a true stunner from every angle. Comes with a custom blue Main Stage case.
