Orchestral Model

Also referred to as an OM, has a well balanced sound and it has a somewhat punchy sound due to the longer scale length of 25.4". It can be made with 12 frets to the body but it is almost always a 14 fret guitar. This size guitar has been a standard in music for decades and it's popularity is steadfast. The smaller body size can be more comfortable for some.
