“From the moment I opened the case I knew I had made the right decision on going with OD Guitars. You could see and feel the love Omer has for his craft, as well as for his customers/artists."

The second I played the first note I knew the guitar was meant for me. The note articulation was insane and the muting was tight but also insanely full and aggressive.

OD Guitars are definitely in a league of their own and I can’t speak more highly of these instruments.”

I am a big fan of the OD Guitars unique designs and I think the Athena design is amazing.
All the details in the guitar are absolutely top class and Omer's great skills are obvious.
Even though I had plenty of time to prepare myself for the Athena I was absolutely blown away when I opened the case for the first time.
Everything on the guitar yells of being top class and I get inspired by playing on it. The maple burl on the top is extremely beautiful and I am really happy for the personal design on the fretboard which has a special meaning to me."

Alejandro del Valle

I'm a cover artist for electronic music as well as a melodic metal.
My OD experience in a nutshell --- If you're like me you did all your research and you still ended up looking at the masterpieces that Omer created at the end of the day.
I knew OD guitars were meant for me and one of the most eye catching guitars out there would be mine one day.
I pulled the trigger and I don't think I'll ever order from another company for any of my guitar needs from this experience.
Omer and Tali work hand in hand to make sure your build is perfect to a T. They have gone out of there way and been so informational in every aspect of my build.
I know there's quite a few companies out there that won't do the things they do especially when it comes to last minute changes but once again I found myself at ease with Omer and Tali because they always make sure you are happy no matter what.

Jeremy Fox

“I’m a long time musician with a passion for guitar, music production and audio mixing/engineering. These days I mainly write, record, and mix my own material for my YouTube channel, where I share tips on crafting amazing tones and building great mixes.”

”The OD Guitars experience for me started from the first contact with Omer. I knew immediately that this was going to be an amazing experience by how invested Omer was in helping me through the entire process, from design to the point I actually received it in my hands. Omer shared updates on the build throughout the entire process, which was incredible to see.
I was able to see the guitar from the point it was nothing but a few blocks of wood, to it taking shape, to the finished masterpiece.
The guitar itself is the epitome of fine craftsmanship, playability, and TONE! It plays like a dream and sounds even better.
I honestly can’t say enough about how amazing it is to pick up this guitar and start playing, this is something you’ll only experience with a custom, hand-built, guitar from a master luthier, like Omer.
So, all that to say, the OD experience is more than just the experience of playing an amazing instrument. They are truly invested in you and in helping you get everything you want in your guitar. It’s something I can’t recommend
enough, you must experience this for yourself if you get the chance.

Thank you for creating the most amazing and inspiring instrument I’ve ever owned!”

“Finding this OD guitar was nearly short of a miracle for me. 2021 started off as a truly rough year. I had known about OD for around 4 years and I always kept an eye on his work. Finally, on May 7 2021 I brought home my own OD guitar. To say it was an “amazing” experience is very much an understatement. This instrument brought something out of me and my own personal writing that I hadn’t experienced before. Writing on this guitar rekindled my love for what I wanted to do in my life. To put that simply; what I want to do in my life is play guitars, and create a partnership with a company I deem the best. I deem OD Guitars that company. For all of us out there with dreams. Play on and let us be friends.”
