Heritage Prairie State OM-2

The Heritage Prairie State OM-2 represents a premium offering within our Heritage series, meticulously recreating one of the most sought-after OM models from the Larson Brothers' prolific period. This instrument embodies their innovative "Built under Tension" construction with a genuinely "arched" top, contributing to its exceptional volume, projection, and complex overtone structure.

True to the historical design, the OM-2 features August Larson's patented "laminated" bracing system. This ingenious method, involving a "sandwich of spruce with an ebony or rosewood center strip," provided remarkable strength while allowing the soundboard to vibrate freely, resulting in the characteristic "singing high end" and "tight, well-defined bass" Larson tone. The top is crafted from high-grade Alpine Moon spruce Mastergrade, chosen for its superior tonal characteristics. The back and sides are constructed from premium Indian Rosewood AAA (Dalbergia latifolia), a legendary tonewood revered for its deep, resonant basses, rich overtones, and clear trebles.

Every detail on the Heritage Prairie State OM-2 is a nod to its vintage inspiration, including a Mahogany neck, an Indian Rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia) fingerboard adorned with intricate Floral Larson Style inlays, and a Polished Vintage Bone nut and bridge inlay. The iconic Larson historic peghead with Larson logo M.O.P. and Ebony (Diospyros ebenum) overlay, along with the Ebony bridge, complete this instrument, offering an unparalleled combination of historical accuracy, exquisite craftsmanship, and sublime tone. This guitar is ideal for players and collectors seeking the authentic sound and feel of a golden-era Larson OM.
