2026 Huss & Dalton TOM-R Custom: Lutz Bear-Claw Spruce, Wildgrain Indian Rosewood

Huss & Dalton TOM-R

Somehow, Huss & Dalton have built a brand-new OM that sounds like it's been played religiously for decades. Unlike H&D's standard fully-radiused tops, the TOM series uses traditional flat-top construction — a build method that trades a little modern stiffness for warmth, giving this guitar a beautiful, familiar, vintage voice. This particular example is extra-special, with an upgraded Lutz Bear-Claw Spruce top and Wildgrain Indian Rosewood back and sides, making it as striking to look at as it is to hear.

Build & Materials

• Lutz Bear-Claw Spruce top (upgraded), flat-top construction for vintage tonal character
• Wildgrain Indian Rosewood back and sides (upgraded, "R" designation)
• Belly bridge style
• Herringbone top purflings
• Rosette: inner and outer black/white/black lines surrounding double Ivoroid, separated by black/white/black
• Ivoroid body binding
• Ebony fretboard binding
• Short-pattern slotted square fretboard inlays
• Tortoise pickguard
• H&D nickel open-back tuners with nickel buttons
• Voice: flat-top bracing lends a warmer, more vintage-leaning tone than H&D's standard radiused-top guitars
