Big voice! Comfortable body. We love this 2018 Kostal OM. Not only does it feature some seriously gorgeous woods (Figured Koa back and sides, German Spruce top) and Jason’s two-tone headstock, it also packs a fierce wallop with even a light touch. Crisp, clean balance from string to string, with a particularly lively bass response. The Koa lends an evenness to note definition that’s really sweet: big chords ring out in articulate, technicolor glory. The setup is slinky and smooth just the way we like it for standard, DADGAD, and beyond. It even holds up well under a pick. This is the kind of guitar you just don’t want to put down—precisely what we’ve come to expect from Jason Kostal.

This is a powerhouse small body guitar. It compares very favorably with dynamic range to all but the dreadnoughts in our shop. This one is really strong, present, and clear. The set of Koa is simply stunning, and Jason has done a great job of capturing all the energy this wood has to offer. | Scale Length | 25 in |
