Achieve Ideal Balance and Articulation With the OM Body

Whether you prefer fingerstyle playing or strumming, the MF60E's balance helps bring out nuanced voicings.

Lightweight X-Brace Opens Up the Projection

This allows the spruce top to vibrate effortlessly, putting out lively, shimmering overtones with each strum. There's added punch in the midrange, giving your playing a pleasing presence when accompanying vocals. The lightweight bracing also aids in playability, with a comfortable action that doesn't fatigue your hands. Notes and chords ring out with sustain, filling the room. When playing solo, you'll appreciate how the open-sounding X-braced top complements the focused balance of the OM body.
