Athena
By OD Guitars
A single-cut offset solidbody voiced for high-gain modern tones, with OD's through-body Natural Geometric chambering acting like F-holes and a semi-acoustic 3+3 headstock for extra neck resonance.
About this guitar
Athena pairs a single-cut, offset body with the look of a classic design and the output of a modern high-gain instrument. OD’s Natural Geometric (NG) chambering runs through the body on this model, functioning like F-holes to add sustain and balance across the highs and lows, and the semi-acoustic 3+3 headstock lets the neck vibrate more freely for smoother, cleaner ambient-heavy chords. Built to order with OD’s full wood, hardware, and finish menu, and available in 6-, 7-, or 8-string, standard or multiscale configurations.
