If crisp, lively power is what you need, this Marchione is here to deliver. Stephen’s OMC model threads the needle between room-filling projection and intimate playability, which this beauty from 2019 does just that. Notes fire right out from the soundhole, with an evenness between the registers that’s excellent for both fingerstyle and flatpicking. On the tonewood, front, Stephen outfitted this OMC with gorgeous, gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood and Swiss Spruce (note the light bearclaw figure), Honduran Mahogany neck, and Figured Maple bindings. Hot hide glue construction throughout, plus stainless steel frets for longevity. Moreover, Marchione installed an example of his unique, five-piece piezo pickup system that he developed with Will Brahm—and this puppy sounds delightfully natural and organic when plugged in.
"Projection and clarity, that’s what this beautiful Marchione guitar gives you. Every note rings out to the delights of the audience. Awesome craftsmanship and elegant design." - Paul Heumiller
