Here is a new Martin OM-42. A beautiful instrument, fine woods and abalone inlays make this one something special. If you’ve been to visit, you know I have an older D-41 Special as a personal guitar that I won’t sell you at any price, there is just something about having abalone purfling on a rosewood Martin that delivers that tone I know and love from the very first note.
Martin says: “The stylish design of the 40 Series adds panache to the classic tone and feel of East Indian rosewood back and sides, a spruce scalloped X-braced top, and hand-fit dovetail neck joint. Open geared tuners, antique white binding, polished gloss finish, a tortoise colored pickguard and abalone pearl inlay offer shimmer with exemplary tone. Long scale and a sleek modified low-oval neck with narrow taper mean strumming and picking for hours in comfort and bliss.”
Features include aging toner which will mellow to a beautiful gold, ebony fingerboard, style 45 snowflake abalone inlays, beautiful Martin headstock block inlay, gold open tuners with butterbean knobs and a hardshell case. Lifetime warranty.
