The B&G Orchestra
The OM guitar has an illustrious history dating back to the early 20th century, captivating musicians with its versatility and perfectly balanced tonal characteristics. Loved by fingerstyle players and strummers alike, the OM's convenient size, resonant sound, and unique "compressed" character have established it as a cherished treasure among acoustic guitarists worldwide.
The original design inherently impresses, yet we managed to take it a step further, and infuse it with our DNA. It now not only demonstrates elite craftsmanship and playability, but produces a sound that's carefully refined, crystal-clear, and expressively coherent.

Overview
Perfection Is in the Details
Solid Adirondack Spruce
Solid Adirondack Spruce top has a sense of rarity and legendary status, recalling the golden era of acoustic guitar making. It's the very wood that graced the coveted pre-war acoustic guitars, the instruments that set the standard for excellence and became the objects of desire for collectors and musicians alike. Choosing Adirondack Spruce means you're committing to owning a piece of history and investing in an heirloom that will only grow richer with time.
Abalone Inlays
Abalone inlays are a nod to the high-end acoustics of the 1930s and 1940s. More vivid and lively than standard mother-of-pearl inlays, they not only enhance the visual appeal but also speak to the instrument's heritage and craftsmanship.
Variable Back and Sides
Tailor your sound with our variety of back and side woods. Choose from Indian Rosewood, Madagascar Rosewood, Honduran Mahogany, Quilted Mahogany, or Ziricote to match your unique tonal preferences and style.
Torrified Maple Binding
