Nope
Not a prerequisite or a deal breaker but I'll contact them.

Nice guitar! I wouldn't be too concerned that it doesn't have a torrified top - Dana and other fine builders were making great guitars before that fad came into existence. I played one of Dana's OO a few years back and it was just stellar. Let us know if you decide to go for it.
Best, Jayne |

I've bought 3, custom ordered (OMC, 00, 0) which is the same as buying unplayed ahead of time, and each one is wonderful and each one has it's own voice.

Nahhh...I bet this guitar sounds better with Sitka top. Adirondack top is too stiff for me as an OM guitar.

About Sitka spruce he says "...the lack of a strong overtone component [Sitka] can result in a “thin” tone when played with a relatively light touch-depending, of course, upon the design of the guitar and the other woods used in its construction. The break-in period for a new Sitka guitar can also be longer than that of other spruces." Seems to me the OM design lends itself to (although not limited to) a lighter touch than a dread or full sized guitar.
