Hump day bump and price drop.

I was the original owner of this guitar for about it's first year of life. Got it from Kim at Cotten Music.

It was a fantastic guitar at that point...I can only imagine what she sounds like today! It was like a balanced mini-dreadnought...just huge tone. The alpine top must have something to do with it.

If I could have gotten accustomed to the 2 ⅜" spacing at the saddle, I would have never sold her. (but I am a 2 3/16" guy) My SCGC VJ is the only guitar I have found that has replaced the OM-18 in my mind...and it took me years to find the right one.

This is a great deal on a custom Martin.

This would be a good price on a standard OM-18V. But with the custom shop upgrades, this is a fantastic price! I wish I was in the market for one of these! GLWS!

Great testimony. Thanks.

Do you have pics?

Also, I'm guessing that the action measurement is meant to read 3/32", is that right?

3/2 = 3/32 at the bottom string and 2/32 at top string, at the 12th fret.
Pictures are at the 2nd link in the post.
Thanks for your interest.

Does this beauty have the modified v or modified low profile neck?

[elmcmeen]

Low profile.

[elmcmeen]

Big price drop for local pickup.
Want to move.

People nibbling off-board bump.
