2008 Martin OMCRE guitar!
This OM sized guitar is so rare and sought after! It has a cutaway, built in Fishman Aura Pro electronics and a Babicz Adjustable Neck!
To me the adjustable neck is the most amazing feature. I can go from low action fingerstyle to higher action slide without having to loosen or retune the strings!
The Babicz Continually Adjustable Neck:
Designed by a musician for the musician. Quick, easy, "on the fly" adjustments of the string height without altering scale length or neck pitch. Turn the key (provided) and go from high Slide action to an extremely low "electric" feel, seamlessly and without de-tuning!
Google "Martin Guitar with the Babicz Adjustable Neck- OMCRE" to see a video of the neck in action.
This superb instrument is made with a solid Carpathian (Transylvania Adirondack) spruce top, a style-28 headstock overlay, standard ''X'' scalloped, a solid Sitka spruce top that's ¼" braced; the back, sides and headstock overlay are made of East Indian rosewood.
It has Gotoh nickel-plated open-geared high quality tuners with butterbean knobs.
This guitar is in overall great condition! It has some light dings and scratches from almost ten years of play and some marks on the back of the headstock but, it still is in great condition! See the many images for detail! Some finish crazing has recently appeared.
Includes TKL hard shell case.
