Description

Introducing the McNally OM Custom—a guitar that transcends mere craftsmanship to deliver a playing experience infused with history, elegance, and sophistication. This instrument harmonizes luxurious tone with striking visual artistry, setting a new standard for refined acoustic guitars.

At the heart of the OM Custom’s extraordinary sound lies its stunning Blue Bearclaw Sitka spruce top. Carefully selected, this unique wood not only looks remarkable with its rippling, bearclaw pattern, but also delivers a sound that’s both vibrant and mellow, resonating with remarkable clarity. Paired with ancient bog oak back and sides—wood that has aged over millennia in the depths of ancient bogs—this guitar is endowed with a complex warmth and an astonishingly long sustain. Each note lingers, allowing the player to explore every nuance with a distinct, clear voice and balance across the spectrum, whether fingerpicked or strummed.

Visually, the OM Custom is as stunning as it is sonorous. Ebony graces the fingerboard and headstock, accented with a subtle pinstripe that complements the intricate spalted beech rosette, back strip, and tail wedge, adding a refined yet earthy aesthetic. The Ebano bindings, elegantly set with wood fiber purflings, frame the instrument with understated luxury, while the gloss finish enhances the deep hues of ancient bog oak. The satin neck, meanwhile, offers a smooth, comfortable feel for hours of effortless play.

With a comfortable 25.4” scale length, a 15” lower bout, and 4.3” body depth, the OM Custom is perfectly balanced for players who demand both comfort and power. The 1 3/4” nut width and 2 1/4” bridge spacing make intricate fingerstyle and complex chord voicings a joy to execute, giving you the freedom to explore a wide array of musical textures with ease. Gold Gotoh 381 tuning machines with ebony buttons ensure tuning stability, adding a touch of opulence and providing seamless, precise adjustments.

Adorned with a gold foil headstock logo and an elegant Celtic knot, the OM Custom honors the traditions of fine luthiery with a modern sophistication. Each detail speaks of the dedication and skill that goes into every McNally instrument, creating not just a guitar but a true work of art.

For the guitarist who seeks tonal richness, historical depth, and flawless craftsmanship, the McNally OM Custom with Blue Bearclaw Sitka spruce and ancient bog oak is an investment in a lifetime of musical inspiration. Embrace the artistry of McNally, and let your sound resonate with history and elegance.
