Preston Thompson OM BA, Brazilian Rosewood & Adirondack Spruce

The legendary team at Preston Thompson are no strangers to the classic pre-war dreadnought game having produced guitars for virtuoso flatpickers Molly Tuttle and Billy Strings. But this sweet sounding Brazilian rosewood OM proves that they have a delicate side, and we must confess, we are smitten. Equal parts long-winded sustain and complex overtones produce an orchestral quality that feels like multiple voices singing in harmony, and the dynamic range of Adirondack allows for an extremely satisfying and expressive playing experience. Taking characteristics from the Taj Mahal, inlay ace Simon Haycraft references an east meets west theme with a one-of-a kind headstock design and sultry sunburst reminiscent of a dramatic sunset. While Preston Thompson produces fine guitars in every respect, this unique piece was a passion project that sat patiently for an entire year waiting for the right inspiration to strike. This is an heirloom instrument that is ready to start its new life blooming for discerning player tha
