I am currently gaging interest on the
following custom 2002 Martin OM42 (of which I am the original owner).
The guitar is in absolute mint/showroom
condition. The original listing, description and all photos remain accurate.
(archived link below)
All of the additional pearl work was done
by legendary luthier and (at that time) the main 3rd party hired
by Martin for custom pearl work, Dave Nichols, from Malone NY. Dave took over
much of the custom pearl work from Martin when Mike Longworth retired in the
early 1970s. I met with Dave personally (and have photos of the meet up to
verify the authenticity.)
Sound
clip example of this guitar. (2 guitar tracks.)
If this guitar was purchased new today, with all the customization, it would
cost at least what I want for it. Plus it has 22 years of aging, and fully
open. It is a joy to view as well as play.
