Here's what Atkin says about the OM37:
One of our best selling models, the Atkin OM is for many players a 'desert island' guitar if they had to pick just one, this is the one that can do it all!
The OM, or 'Orchestra Model' combines a full scale length with a slightly scaled down body it is narrower and shallower than a 'D' style guitar like our White Rice or Essential D. The challenge for all OM builders is to allow for a rich, commanding bass in spite of the the smaller, more ergonomic body, and our hand-scalloped bracing and torrified select Sitka top allows us to make this a reality.
Our OM is popular with fingerstyle guitar players, but in truth it’s a great all-rounder and suits singer-songwriters and folk artists as well.
We’ve departed in several ways from the classic pre-war style: A larger top dome, our lifetime-guaranteed neck/body joint, and a two-way truss rod are among the changes, so this isn’t a historical reproduction, but a modern British-made guitar with heaps of mojo!
An extra note from us here at Express Music about this extraordinary model:
This custom order White Rice Edition borrows some of the features of the very popular Atkin White Rice Dreadnought including a larger soundhole for bigger projection and a extended fingerboard. Again it is worth saying just how versatile this guitar is. Traditionally the OM37 was used mostly for fingerpicking but this larger soundhole allows for plenty of projection however you choose to play. We have ordered this guitar with a Ivoroid bound neck and Aged Nitro Blacktop finish.
