The Eastman E8OM features all solid wood construction and a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The top, with Herringbone purfling, is Sitka Spruce, the sides, back and headplate Indian Rosewood. The body blocks and dovetail-joint neck are Mahogany, with Ebony for the fingerboard and bridge. Unusually, the fingerboard also appears to have a light coat of clear lacquer. The inlays are subtle, small snowflakes in Abalone. The example seen here is strictly acoustic, but it is available with an L R Baggs pickup system.
Orchestra Model
The Larrivee OM 40R Legacy is simple and elegant orchestra sized guitar that features a Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood sides and back. The squared peghead with open gear tuners and bold rope rosette and top purfling enhance this classic aesthetic. Top it all off with the ebony fret board and bridge and maple body binding and you have an excellent looking instrument.
Here we have a new Huss & Dalton TOMR Custom featuring a Thermo-Cured Sitka Spruce top and Indian Rosewood back and sides! The model name breaks down to Traditional Orchestra Model Rosewood. On this guitar, the Custom refers to the choice of the thermo-cured Sitka top; it’s also available with an Adirondack or Red Spruce top, and without the thermo-cure. Thermo-cured wood is also known as baked, torrefied, and by Martin as part of their VTS (vintage tone system). The process uses controlled, high heat, atmospheric pressure and minimal oxygen and simulates aging.
Part of the Recording Series, the Larrivee OM 03R draws from the classic Orchestra Model design introduced in the early 1930s to aid the great shift to guitar by banjo players. The Larrivee OM 03R is built using traditional materials including a Sitka Spruce top with Herringbone purfling and rosette, Indian Rosewood for the back sides and head plate, Mahogany for the body blocks and neck, with Ebony for the bridge and bound fingerboard. The body binding is Maple while, in this period, the fingerboard binding is grained ivoroid. The finish is natural satin.

MORE →The Eastman E10 OM is a smaller orchestra sized body guitar which features a classic wood pairing of Adirondack spruce on the top and mahogany sides and back. Adirondack spruce has a high ceiling for volume and tone production which means you can dig in with your picking hand and really drive the top!
The Eastman E6 OM is a warm and balanced sounding guitar with straightforward classic appointments. The OM or orchestra sized body is a smaller shape dating to the early 1930s with a curvy waist and more compact lower bout. This results in a very comfortable playing experience particularly in a seated position. The smaller body also requires less energy to get the top moving and responds really well to a lighter touch. Fingerstyle playing and light to medium strumming really bring out the voice of this instrument.
