The OM
Well balanced mid-sized guitar
Responsive all-rounder
The OM
This is my interpretation of the OM-sized guitar, designed with a focus on responsiveness and projection. Its voice is articulate and well-balanced across the fingerboard, with a rich, mellow bass, strong sustain, and sparkling trebles. Voiced to suit a wide variety of playing styles, it can also be tailored to your specific needs. A versatile instrument with a modern voice.
The lower bout is about the traditional OM width, but the depth is slightly greater, providing more room in the body. Despite this, the guitar remains comfortable to hold and play, thanks to the smaller upper bout in both width and depth. It feels more like a smaller instrument in your hands. Can be made with a Florentine cutaway.

I had the good fortune to get to know Juuso Tornberg’s instruments through a friend. And now, less than a year later, I’m holding my own in my hands. What a guitar. What a sound. What clarity and richness of tone. What a beauty. What a pleasure to play.
Beautifully crafted guitars, very well balanced across the board, with a remarkable sustain and thick trebles. Perfect for fingerstyle with plenty enough headroom for strumming! A wonderful, handmade guitars with an inspirational voice!
Aside from the guitar’s wonderful looks, it also sounds so enchanting. With the skill and artistry he devotes to guitar making, and the consideration he puts into the details, Juuso Tornberg is a worthy contender for building your dream steel stringed guitar.
