Default FS Martin Custom Shop OM-13-SOLD on Forum

Up for sale is a Martin Custom Shop OM-13

I purchased this off the forum about 4 years ago. It was in excellent shape at the time and I think continues to be in excellent shape. There is no noticeable fret wear or issues in the finish. There are some very light swirls and possibly a pinpoint indentation visible, but you would be hard-pressed to find them. It is a house queen and has never left my house and has been humidified and kept in the case when not used. I’m a finger style player so it does not have much flat picking time on it. I recently had it set up and inspected by my local Martin dealer and they gave it a solid two thumbs up on its condition.

The first owner had a Fishman Matrix Infinity pickup installed by their Martin dealer and a Loxx strap lock at the heel. I don’t amplify but my local shop tested and the pickup works. Otherwise it is the stock instrument.

This is a 2013 limited edition, light build, with hide glue construction on dovetail neck joint and mahogany blocks. 80 of these were built that year. The top is premium high altitude Swiss spruce with a nice tight grain mixed with a little bit of bear claw. The back and sides are highly figured premium solid Madagascar rosewood. The side have what I would describe as a chocolate look/shade. The neck, body and headstock binding are quilted Bubinga. The scale is 25.4" and it has a 1-¾” nut and a 2-¼” bridge spacing. The top braces are scalloped 5/16” solid Adirondack spruce, Golden Era style. The tone bars are Sitka and the bridge plate is Madagascar rosewood. The neck is a CS#1 profile. Comes with a Custom Shop case with Custom Shop stitched on the top and a velvet shroud. I’ve never used the shroud in storage as I read that there were issues with the shroud effecting the finish. Not sure why the shroud but anyway it is there.

I am asking $XXXX plus shipping. I accept paypal. You can e-mail me with any questions [email protected] or contact me through my profile. I have a custom build coming and I have to sell some guitars. This is the first of a couple.

I've sold a few guitars on the forum all with positive feedback from the buyers.

That is one drop-dead gorgeous Martin. Just slightly out of my price range (but not by much!). Thought this deserved a bump up. GLWS
