Frequently Asked Questions

VTS artificially ages the spruce, resulting in a more open, responsive tone with a slightly warmer and more complex character – similar to a guitar that’s been played for decades.
While maintaining the classic OM profile, the Modern Deluxe offers a slightly slimmer, more comfortable feel than some older OM-28s, aimed at enhancing playability.
Ebony provides a smooth, fast feel and is highly durable; it responds well to both lighter gauge strings for fingerstyle and heavier gauges for a fuller strumming sound.
