1932 Martin OM-18 Shade Top
Description
Shade Top, Original
Extra Fine Tone and Playability
New Bar Frets and Neck Reset
A much played and much loved vintage OM, with lots of finish wear and dings and scratches, yet fully original and structurally healthy with just an ancient patch and a couple small ding repairs in the sides. The finish has been sanded on the back of the neck to improve its playability. Most important is the amazing tone of this extremely played-in 90 year old mahogany guitar; it has more power, volume and depth than many OMs; the great mahogany OMs like this one are among the greatest steel string guitars of all time. This one has been used professionally for many years, in performance and song writing: a couple of Bonnie Riatt's major hits were written on it.
