What We Think
Condition: Used, Very Good
Modified by Dan Lashbrook to be the medium body flatpicking guitar of your dreams, this OM-18V is like no other Martin you've had your hands on. The addition of a scalloped nut and bridge add brightness and volume for a cut-through-the-band tone you can't deny. The oversized Dunlop 6000 fretwire promotes a big sound and allows for less effort in fretting, leaving room for the right hand to truly dig in. Tight and punchy, this OM has a special voice for a special player!
SP Luthier Notes: Fret ends, repaired top seam, and setup

About Manufacturer
For well over a century and a half, The Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing acoustic instruments that are acknowledged to be the finest in the world. The Martin Guitar Company has, through the years, managed to survive with each succeeding generation from C. F. Martin, Sr.?s Stauffer influenced creations of the 1830s to recent developments introduced by C. F. Martin IV. Continuous operation under family management is a feat bordering on the remarkable, reflecting six generations of dedication to the guitarmaker?s craft. In or out of the music industry, C. F. Martin has few rivals for sheer staying power. Throughout its colorful history, the company has adapted successfully to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods. In spite of the many changes, C. F. Martin has never veered away from its initial commitment to quality. The concern for producing the finest instruments possible in 1833 is especially evident today at Martin?s expanded facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The story behind one of America?s most famous guitars began on January 31, 1796, in Markneukirchen, Germany, with the birth of Christian Frederick Martin, Sr. Born into a long line of cabinet makers, Christian Frederick took up the family craft at the early age of 15, when he left his hometown and traveled to Vienna to apprentice with Johann Stauffer, a renowned guitar maker.
