Default Huss and Dalton

Has anyone had any experience with the Huss & Dalton OM's. I have heard they are comparable to Collings, Bourgeous, and etc.

Yes...I played a new one with an Adi top and it was a wonderful sounding and amazingly loud guitar...louder than my Taylor 914. I couldn't believe all that sound was coming from such a small guitar. I think if all I ever did was fingerstyle, that might be the guitar I'd own.

The Huss and Dalton OMs are very nice. They changed their design sometime over the last several years; they used to sound much tighter, less open. My favorite is a mahogany/adi. I prefer them over Bourgeois and Collings.

I love their OMs. Very articulate with a nice ringing tone. When I bought my 000-SP, I was also considering buying an OM (Sitka/RW). It was a very tough decision. My 000 is mahogany and Adirondack, and the combination is amazing. An OM with that combo would be really sweet. H & D makes such great guitars.

Default don't overlook the 00's

I had the pleasure of playing a H&D 00-SP over the weekend. Whole lot of sound from a small package. This one was mahogany/sitka and sounded great. (I'm saving my pennies!)

I've had a H&D OM in sitka and rosewood since 03
and love it. Amazing volume from a small guitar

I own two Huss & Dalton guitars and love them both. Balanced, LOUD, and responsive. The 000 neck is a little thicker than a Taylor but not bad.

Every bit as nice as my SCGC ....
