The Huss & Dalton TOM-R combines traditional flat-top construction with Virginia Red Spruce bracing used in all Huss & Dalton’s. Classic timeless styling. Awesome tone and playability.
This 2017 Huss & Dalton TOM-R is built based on deep respect and appreciation of the pre-war flat tops that are among the most revered instruments in existence. Jeff Huss and Mark Dalton build this premium and professional grade guitars and banjos in Stanton, Virginia (USA). H&D combines the age-old techniques of construction with their own take on the classic design to produce an instrument of unparalleled power and exquisite tone and playability. These instruments feature 25’ radius bracing mated with a traditionally flat top. The TOM-R mirrors the traditional look, feel, and construction of the classic OM. Including a herringbone top purfling and a simple rosette pattern, with a few unique touches, such as the highly scalloped Virginia Red Spruce braces. The Ebony bridge pins sit smoothly and evenly inside recessed holes in the bridge. The TOM-R’s bone saddle is fully compensated, with adjustments evident for every individual string. The gloss-finished genuine Mahogany neck has a somewhat pronounced V shape on the lower frets, flattening out fairly quickly in the upper registers, making the neck very comfortable. In a nod to tradition, the neck also features a carved volute where the neck meets the headstock. Read more on their own take on guitar construction HERE.
This guitar is especially suited for finger-style players or flatpickers with a lighter touch, yet holds up to vigorous strumming when the performance becomes more intense. The even response and airy, shimmery qualities the OM has always been known for are maintained and expanded on in the Huss & Dalton TOM-R. She is in excellent condition and fitted with an LR Baggs SL pickup system. Listen to a sound impression here:
