2010 McAlister OM-42 Vintage Series, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
Roy McAlister’s Vintage Series guitars are a delight: traditional aesthetics and a modern voice. This 2010 OM-42 is a fantastic example! Brazilian Rosewood body with Adirondack Spruce up top and some gorgeous sea green Abalone appointments in a 42-style package. Though it’s designated as an OM-42 on the label, this beauty has a 000 scale setup that’s butter smooth and a delight on the hands. The voice is even to a T, with all registers mixing up smoothly. We love the flame figure along the back of the Mahogany neck, and the pairing with Snakewood bindings throughout. It’s a well-dressed crooner from tuner to tail. The Adi top has opened up nicely since 2010 and is raring to go!

Powerhouse with Pearl to spare! Here’s a gorgeous example of Roy McAlister’s Vintage Series OM models, decked out with a gorgeous 45-style appointment package, that’s opened up handsomely since 2006. Premium Brazilian Rosewood like the set Roy used here for the back and sides is a wonder to behold: straight grain with just enough figure to make it pop, reminiscent of prewar Martin stock, and extra stable. Adirondack Spruce on top, which has opened up nicely in the past 15 years, rounds out the basis for a classic, vintage sound. The voice is smooth and well balanced across the registers; lively string energy in the bottom end helps carry tone out and away from the body with great projection.

Roy McAlister is very well known for his tradition-inspired designs. This L-012 is Roy’s rendition of the famed Gibson Nick Lucas which was a deep body L-00 guitar revered for it’s power, projection and added bass response. This guitar has all that in spades. The body is Brazilian Rosewood and the top is Alpine Spruce so you get a lot of rich, powerful tone. The scale is 24.6″ which makes for a delightfully easy tension and the wider spacing make it a joy for fingerstyle play. Vintage vibe, slothead, pyramid bridge, it’s all here…
