I'm keeping!! Off the market.

Due to an unexpected family financial situation, I have to sell this magnificent guitar. That is the only reason for selling.

This is a 2013 Martin OM-18A that I purchased used from Ted two months ago. First, the cosmetics. This guitar is NOT mint, however, it is in really good shape. There are numerous pick scratches or swirls on the front of the guitar. May have been from fingernails, not really sure. I can't get these to show on the picture.

There is a mark on the back that appears to be where the guitar made contact with buttons or something. I couldn't get it to show on the picture as well. Also, some marks where the guitar makes contact with your lap. Overall, I would rate the guitar a 7.5 out of ten and I'm a tough judge.

The tone, while subjective, is great and very comfortable to play. Before buying, please be knowledgeable about the model, neck shape, etc.

The price is XXXX shipped and PayPal. If you are wanting to do a different payment method or within driving distance, we can talk. Not interested in trades at this time. Thanks for looking.

Thanks

Friendly bump for a tremendous deal. Sorry about the circumstances, Dave.

Redbeard, thanks for the kind words. I'm not excited about letting her go. In fact, I am hopeful that I'll be able to pull this thread and keep her.

Monday bump

A couple tire kickers. Still available for now.

DRodgers · #8 04-29-2015, 01:53 PM

This guitar is still available. It truly is an exceptional sounding guitar. Thanks for looking.

DRodgers · #9 04-30-2015, 06:29 PM

Bump. Make me a reasonable offer.

Dave,
I have interest in an Authentic, but this weekend is simply a busy mess for me. I live in Lexington, and will gladly drive to Staunton to look over and play your OM on Mon/Tues or whenever convenient. Please email me at datzus at excite dot com. Also own a few fine Rockbridges and am hoping for a sound/tone that will complement them. Thanks, Burr

DRodgers · #11 05-01-2015, 10:40 AM

Will do. I own a Rockbridge as well and they are wonderful.

DRodgers · #12 05-02-2015, 08:14 AM

Sent you an email.

Sunday morning bump for an outstanding guitar and great seller...

Best of luck with your sale Dave. Sorry to hear you have to part with it.

Bump for a great guitar being sold by an even greater guy.

I had the pleasure of playing it this afternoon, my first Authentic test drive - it rang and sang, shimmered and rumbled, and would have come home with me if I hadn't brought a Rockbridge Smeck and Rockbridge 28 model to A and B with it. Too many good guitars and not enough time or discretionary income... besides, it is in better condition than described in the first post, IMHO. It will make someone VERY happy.

Thank you for the kind words. Also, thanks for bringing the Rockbridges. Always nice to play more examples, especially with mine in the room as well. I enjoyed meeting you and had a good time.
