Default Martin OM 28 Authentic 1931 (w/ recordings)

Hi AGF,

Previous thread closed for some weird reasons, reposting below:

Up for sale is this Martin OM28 Authentic 1931 in great condition. VTS adirondack top on Madagascar Rosewood. Perfectly straight grained example of B&S, that quality being quite rare to find.

1-3/4 nut spacing, 2-5/16 at the bridge, and the best neck I've ever tried on a Martin.

I've acquired through AGF many high end guitars from well-established luthiers, and this has been hands down the finest one I've owned. Playability is top-notch and the sound is heavenly, surely one of the finest and most versatile Martin available today!

Why selling? Being an avid reader of the custom shop threads on AGF, I've finally decided to take that leap and to commission a Greenfield guitar. As many of you know, this comes at a price, therefore the need to free some cash.

I'd have loved to keep this one - as this is a wonderful all-around companion - but unfortunately can't afford it.

I'm adding recordings, please excuse the sloppy playing & recording (low output, please listen with earphones at full volume)

1/ Alternate tuning: https://soundcloud.com/thomas-vailla...ternate-tuning
2/ Fingerstyle: https://soundcloud.com/thomas-vaillant-1/fingerstyle

Asking SOLD$ shipped, and won't accept any trades as I'm selling only to finance the potential commission.

With no further ado:

The first soundcloud link is empty (not found) - the second works but the recording is very low output.

GLWS! Good for you for pursuing a Greenfield...I'm happy for you (albeit a bit jealous). A Madagascar/German or Lutz Spruce Greenfield G1 with florentine cutaway, Laskin arm bevel, Paua rosette, and heel "swoosh" is my dream/lottery guitar.

Fantastic Guitars, I had one last year and parted with it too soon.

Thanks for the kind words!

Updated the first audio recording. The output is low indeed, but you get a better idea with earphones at full volume. Sorry I'm not quite familiar with recording yet.

Cheers!
