This beautiful and great-sounding custom Martin acoustic has a long, 25.4" scale and 1/4" top bracing, making it essentially an OM. It does have the 000 style pickguard. Additional custom features include a torrefied, high altitude Swiss spruce top, Guatemalan rosewood for the bridge, fingerboard and headplate, archtop 533E case with cabernet lining, 1-3/4" nut, compensated saddle, and Grover Sta-tite 18:1 ratio nickel open-back tuners. I have the complete build sheet from Martin if you want to check it.

It's in good-to-very good condition cosmetically. There is a bit of "bellying" behind the bridge. It's structurally solid and the guitar plays great. In my opinion, this guitar is louder and richer sounding than most mahogany OM's. Because of past repairs (bridge reglue, loose top braces fixed), I'm pricing this well below what it would be worth otherwise.

Please call or email if interested. NO TEXTS, please. I accept cash, Zelle, and Venmo, and I do local, in-person transactions only. Thanks for looking!
