Pratley Custom Shop OM Orchestra Solid QLD Maple Silkwood / Blackwood w/ Pickup

Pratley Custom Shop OM Orchestra Solid QLD Maple Silkwood / Blackwood w/ Pickup

The Australian-made Pratley OM Orchestra Acoustic Guitar Bunya/Maple is meticulously hand-built in the Gold Coast by the Pratley Custom Shop team, using solid and sustainable premium quality Australian tonewoods. It features a beautiful solid QLD Maple Silkwood top, Blackwood back, sides & neck, and Johnstone River Teak fingerboard and bridge. Johnstone River Teak makes a great, sustainable alternative to Rosewood, due to its comparable density and oil content. Pratley extend the same kind of premium quality to the rest of their appointments, with this acoustic featuring a satin nitrocellulose finish, Graphtech nut and saddle, Pratley-branded machine heads produced by Gotoh Japan, and a hard case.

Pratley guitars feature a number of innovative design features that are unique to this brand. Rather than using the traditional neck heel method, these acoustics feature set neck joins similar to PRS electrics, allowing much greater (and more comfortable) access to the upper frets. Optimisation tweaks to the scarf joint head angle, and high performance neck carve, increase strength and stability, creating a more reliable playing experience, and faster and easier set-ups. A floating fretboard, similar to those found in violins and cellos, allows the soundboard's voice to remain uncompromised, while updated body construction techniques enhance resonant transfer, improving the articulation and sweetness of this acoustic's tone. 

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Pratley Custom Shop OM Orchestra Solid QLD Maple Silkwood / Blackwood w/ Pickup is a great option for any guitarist looking for an affordable, innovative and sustainable, premium quality orchestra model, with all-solid Australian tonewoods, made in a local custom shop.
