Martin OM-28 Marquis Deep Body custom, mint condition. Essentially an OM-28 Marquis with a 1/2-inch deeper body, flamed maple binding & backstrip, full gloss neck and headstock, upgraded tuners, premium Adirondack top (with no "runout"!), and authentic-style slotted bridge (with unslotted pins). 1.75" nut with 2 5/16" at bridge (not 2 3/8"), Mod V neck. 1/4" Adirondack Golden Era Bracing (forward-shifted X pattern). Tone: This is basically an OM-28 Marquis (Adirondack top) that sounds more like a dreadnought than the standard OM-28 Marquis (due to its deeper body). Rich, deep bass and tone with a real Martin growl and strong harmonics. Very sweet when fingerpicked as well, but good volume and projection under a flat pick. Most versatile guitar I've ever played.
Like-new condition without a scratch, scuff, or ding anywhere. If you want a guitar that feels like a medium sized guitar and sounds like a bigger guitar--with a premium Adirondack top and other significant upgrades--this is your guitar. Kept at proper humidity in non-smoking home. Geib case included.
