OM Panama Red 10201
This OM Panama Red 10201 shipped to Fantasy Music Instruments on September 22nd, 2023.
Panama Rosewood, nicknamed ‘Panama Red’ by Dana Bourgeois, holds all the tonal magic of dense Rosewoods while remaining relatively light in weight. This yields a desirable stiffness to weight ratio, translating into exceptional resonance and projection. The OM Panama Red 9916 includes our full suite of Aged Tone options – including an AT Adirondack top, AT Adirondack bracing, AP glue, and AT Finish. Built with similar appointments to our Vintage/HS, the Panama Red kicks things up a notch with killer exotic tonewoods and our complete set of “vintage tone enhancing” upgrades.

Along with the Dreadnought, our OM is our most popular body size and probably the second-most popular acoustic guitar worldwide. It’s no coincidence that the “Orchestra Model” appeals equally to fingerstyle players and flatpickers, thanks to its unparalleled combination of balance, presence, power and comfortable playability. It wasn’t always that way. Once relegated to the history books, the OM began a slow resurgence in the mid 1980’s. Schoenberg Guitars, co-founded by Dana Bourgeois, teamed up with C.F. Martin to introduce the first production-made OM since the 1930s.
