Last Day - Price Reduction! 2019 Arcara 000-18 12 Fret w/ Adi Top - $3,500
Last day - I'm heading out on Saturday and this baby is not coming with me.
Up for your consideration is a Matt Arcara 000-18 12 fret with a 25.5" scale length. For those that don't know, Matt builds his guitars alongside John Slobod of Circa Guitars, considered by many as among the very best in the business. It should be no surprise then that Matt's guitars are also considered to be at the top of the scale. This one is no exception. It is loud and clear and just a pleasure to play. The only reason I'm letting this one go is after I bought this one used, I decided to commission a 000-28 from Matt and it just arrived a few weeks ago. That one exceeded all my expectations and is the equal to this one, just different, so this one has to go. It comes with a premium Guardian case. Hard to believe an Arcara is available for $3,500 but here it is. Thanks for looking! Here are the specs directly from Matt: Top wood: Adi Back and sides: Plain Mahogany appointment style: 1(8) rosewood, rosewood in center rosettee Binding material: Is rosewood binding rosewood rosette Pickguard: yes Extra custom purflings: none Thin finish option: yes, add $500 Neck: Mahogany Peghead veneer: rosewood Nut width: either 1 3/4 Bridge width: 2 5/16 Tuners: Waverly vintage oval Rear Peghead veneer: no Volute: no Fret material: stainless Fret board inlay: vintage 3 dot option Fret board binding: ebony Neck shape: nut to 6th fret C shaped 6 to 12 th fret I little V shape D1 traditional Neck Support: carbon fiber non adjustable Bridge type: custom pyramid for med strings Saddle: drop in 3/32 Pin type: ebony on 18, Dots on pins: none Last edited by Nochops; 04-19-2024 at 08:52 AM.

Looks like a really cool guitar, but surely the OM is defined by the 14 fret squished down body shape (to squeeze in the two extra frets) but your fine guitar (slotted head stock too) looks very much like the original 00 design.
Don't you think?

"Pretty pond. Is the fishing line keeping the Heron out??"
It's supposed to. Had to put a net over the the entire thing for the winter, though. The Heron were doing their best and then the fox and raccoon started to join the party. Can't do anything about the snakes though . . .

I corrected this listing. While Matt originally let me know that this is an OM, after receiving the comments above and checking with Matt again, he has confirmed that this is a 000. Thanks to Silly Mustache for picking that up!

I just picked up an Arcara OM-28 and have owned an OM-18 of his previously and can attest to his guitars being top notch. Best of luck with the sale!

This one spent a year with me. I never put the guard on it,. If you buy it for the listed price, you will feel like you stole something every time you play it. It's that good of a guitar.
