Martin OM-18 Authentic 1933 Shaded VTS Adirondack Spruce and Mahogany- Discounted

$3,999.00

The Martin OM-18 Authentic 1933 is constructed the old way – with Hide Glue throughout, and historically-accurate detailing confirmed by using a CAT scan machine located at the Smithsonian Institute. Based on an original 1933 OM-18, this guitar is constructed with genuine Mahogany back and sides and a VTS Adirondack Spruce shaded top using an authentic circa 1933 bracing pattern. Featuring period-correct “OM-18” Authentic-style appointments, right down to the Authentic 1933 neck barrel and heel.

Martin uses a unique recipe that is based on the historic torrefaction system. The VTS, or Vintage Tone Stsyem, acts much like a time machine in which Martin can target certain time periods and age the top/braces to that era. This focused method allows Martin’s craftsmen and women to recreate not only the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar, but also reproduce the special tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.

The guitar show small signs of wear and has a ding on the headstock near the 6th string post. If you are first and foremost concerned with tone, this OM-18 Authentic 1933 is a great guitar at a great price.

Includes Deluxe Harptone style hardshell and Lifetime Warranty.

Free shipping in the continental United States.
