Default 'Tis So Sweet :: arr. Pete Huttlinger :: 1930 Martin OM-18

Here's an old piece on an old guitar... a seemingly odd pairing but I think the sound is clear and beautiful.

Excellent! OM-18P... is that a plectrum conversion?

Sure is. The guitar started it's life as a 4-string plectrum in 1930. Then at some point 15 years or so ago, TJ Thompson fashioned a vintage neck and bridge and did the conversion. He sold it to a client and then brokered the sale of the guitar from that client to me.

It's ridiculously great. Light as a feather even with the banjo tuners, an incredible neck, and all the mojo of a nearly 90 year old top and back and sides.
