Experience a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation with the Origin OM50. Engineered to inspire and built to last, this instrument delivers a rich, complex tonal palette and unparalleled playability, making every note a pure delight.
Key Features & Highlights:
Premium Tonewood Selection:
Solid Thermo-Cured (Torrefied) Sitka Spruce Top: Undergoes a special thermal curing process that ages the wood, resulting in enhanced resonance, increased stability, and the rich, opened-up tone of a vintage instrument, right out of the box. Expect superb projection, clarity, and dynamic range.
Solid Indian Rosewood Back & Sides: Offers deep, resonant bass, shimmering highs, and complex overtones, providing a rich, sustaining voice that beautifully complements the spruce top.
Artisan Craftsmanship:
Hand-Scalloped Forward-Shifted X-Bracing: Meticulously hand-carved bracing allows the soundboard to vibrate more freely, enhancing bass response, sustain, and overall tonal complexity, reminiscent of golden-era acoustics.
Ultra-Thin Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish: Applied sparingly to allow the premium tonewoods to breathe and resonate fully, contributing to the guitar's open, vibrant sound and allowing it to age gracefully.
Effortless Playability:
Comfortable "C" Profile Mahogany Neck: Designed for a natural feel, offering ease of movement across the fretboard for both chordal work and intricate lead lines.
Ebony Fretboard & Bridge: Known for its smooth feel, durability, and tonal clarity, ebony enhances sustain and articulation.
Bone Nut & Saddle: Ensures optimal string vibration transfer for maximum tone, clarity, and sustain.
Elegant Aesthetics:
Multi-Ply Tortoiseshell Binding: A classic touch that outlines the body beautifully, adding to its vintage appeal.
Abalone Rosette: A tasteful, intricate inlay around the soundhole that catches the light and adds a touch of sophistication.
Mother-of-Pearl Dot Inlays: Simple yet elegant markers on the fretboard.
Open-Gear Vintage-Style Tuners: High-ratio gears provide precise tuning stability and complement the instrument's classic aesthetic.
Gig-Ready (Optional Electronics):
Available with an optional LR Baggs Anthemâ„¢ Hybrid Pickup System, featuring both a Tru-Mic and Element undersaddle pickup for incredible natural acoustic tone when amplified, perfect for stage and studio.
