New Martin OMC-Aura finish/gloss peeling off headstock plate.
Hi. Just bought a brand new Martin omc aura March 2, 2weeks ago in NYC, Sam Ash. This morning it occurred to me that the glossfinish started to peel off the top left sided of the headstock. Just to check how much would peel off, I used my fingernail and this is the result on the youtubelink posted to this thread. I will email, the store manager to get their opinion on the matter. this guitar is my new masterpiece and I am thrilled to have such a nice and well playing instrument. I would in another words, be very sad and confused by now, since Martin is known for better quality than this, but choose to give them a chance to fix it or refinish it. I' m not shure of how they do it, but I' m curious of the reply I will get on the e-mail I sent. This is sure thing not a wear and tear thing since I hardly played it for more than one week since purchase, and hasn't been hit against anyting or misused. So I'll be happy to know what happened( fabrication failure?) I will surely have to to bring it back to the store so they can give it an inspection. I would be glad to hear your opinions on this or if anyone has experiensed "such a tragedy!! "

You should have two choices, repair or replacement, a shame but it happens.
I would want to play another new Aura (had an OMC-Aura for 7 years, great stage guitar), if the other Aura sounds better I would exchange for it, if the the one with the finish problem sounds "noticeably" better I would get it repaired. Good Luck!

Anyway, this guitar sound really good, and it' s a keeper, but it's optional wether to keep it or exhange it with something similar, since reparing a new guitar doesn' t sound like the right thing to do, even if I would presume it wouldn't affect the sound by repairing/ replazing the headplate. Or the value of it for that matter( just a thought, not a experts opinion!)

From a long time multi-Martin owner I would get a Performing Artist model with the newer F1 Aura electronics. I traded my OMC-Aura and some cash against a GPCPA1, there is a noticeable difference. Electronics change so quickly to begin with, get the latest. Good Luck!!

Excellent , Sam Ash. In reply of the mail sent about my guitar gloss peeling off the headstock, they wrote, come by for an exchange. That' s what I call excellent service. Just as easy as that. Few simple words that lit up my day. So case closed! Thank' s to those og you posted on my issue for your help and experience
