The Tupelo is OME’s most basic old-time model. It features a 25.5” scale, 1.34” nut width, and 17-fret S-scooped fingerboard. The aged cherry rim is capped with black ebonite and bound with simulated tortoise shell. The 12” tone rim construction, combined with fewer brackets, produces OME’s “woodiest” old-time banjo tone.
