This guitar is for the 2022 Spring Fundraiser at Heronfield Academy. This 14 fret OM has a few of special features including a heron soundport and heron inlay plus a wedge body shape to increase the ergonomics of playing a full sized guitar. The bass side depth is narrowed making it easier to play while the treble side is widened to maintain sound quality and tone. Over the years, I find my should is a bit messed up from playing dreadnaughts without good posture, so this is my adaption for a better guitar.
