Our very first instrument from Baron Guitars come to the party dressed in black and with a voice that cuts right through the riff raff. Here decked out with Flamed Maple back and sides and an Italian Spruce top, we found the voice had an easy balance across the registers, but cut very well through the mix. The treble response is crisp and well-defined, and the bass and midrange response are characterized by a dry woodiness that keeps the tone articulate and straight-to-the-point with clean attack and swift decay.
A gorgeous matte black finish on the body is set off by Maple appointments, from the top trim, rosette, and bridge, to the Maple neck and fretboard itself. Gold EVO frets for longevity. The neck is also finished in satin, and offers zero resistance to the left hand while fretting, and it remained so even after we turned up the heat with some faster tunes.
Quick and lively, this 2018 Baron OM is the right choice if energy and attack are at the top of your list.
