From their small shop in Staunton, Va., the Huss \u0026amp; Dalton Guitar Co. builds ~250 guitars each year, prioritizing quality and integrity of the build over quantity of the product. Built from the finest tonewoods available, Huss \u0026amp; Dalton guitars are steeped in tradition and capable of pushing your music to a new level.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the TOM-R, Huss \u0026amp; Dalton brings the traditional Orchestra Model design into the 21st century. Borrowing from the best prewar OMs, the TOM-R combines age-old construction techniques with Huss \u0026amp; Dalton's boutique attention to detail. It is a full 25.5\" scale instrument with a powerful sound, and it's constructed from the finest materials available. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis 2020 Huss \u0026amp; Dalton TOM-R Custom (#4542) features a \"thermo-cured\" (aka torriefied) Adirondack Spruce top and Cocobolo back and sides. Every brand has their own approach to torrefied\/baked\/aged tops, but the results are consistent: a more \u003c\/span\u003eresponsive, stable and played-in sounding instrument, right out of the box.  On this one, the Cocobolo has a similar influence on the tone as Brazilian rosewood. Complex—yet focused—overtones, and crystal clear sound that never gets mushy. This TOM-R is louder than a lot of OMs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom there, the remaining specs are high-end and tasteful: 1-3\/4\" bone nut, 2-1\/4\" saddle spacing, Waverly open-back tuners, Adirondack braces, one-piece mahogany neck, ebony bridge, ebony fingerboard,\u003cspan\u003e cross-cut Ivoroid binding, herringbone purfling, short-pattern diamond and square fingerboard inlay, and zipper backstrip.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis 2020 Huss \u0026amp; Dalton TOM-R Custom shows some minor signs of play and use, but it's pretty clean all around. The previous owner installed a strap button on the heel, and the setup is nice and low. Like a lot of OMs, this guitar would be an excellent fingerpicker, but it articulates nicely and packs a punch when you dig in with a pick. It includes its original tweed TKL case.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/uzZ0wzngaTI?si=0b4Opfq-yF5FtJLo\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53838762443071,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G71753829","price":2499.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/2020Huss_DaltonTOM-RCustomCocobolo_4542_-Detail05.jpg?v=1782094611","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/2020-huss-dalton-tom-r-custom-4542","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
