USED Martin / OM-18V 2007 [03]

Rare and Discontinued Model!

This is the OM-18V from the regrettably discontinued Vintage Series. Featuring scalloped bracing, long saddle, and a modified V neck with 44.5mm nut width.
There are small, shallow dings, shallow scratches, and abrasions, none of which are noticeable and could be missed unless you hold it in your hand and look at it with a light source reflecting off it. Our repair department has done some fret rubbing, and some of the binding and bridge ends have been re-glued. There is still a small gap at the end of the bridge on the bass string side. There is a gap between the end piece and the wood on either side of the end piece, a glare of satin paint on the back of the neck, and some tarnishing of metal parts, but these are generally commensurate with the age of the instrument. There is no significant damage that is visually noticeable. There is a little unevenness in the turning of the pegs depending on the strings, but this does not affect tuning. A strap pin has been retrofitted to the heel of the neck.
The neck is in good condition, and the truss rod has been confirmed to operate at 60 degrees left and right. The frets are still 80% high. Both playability and sound are perfect.
The sound is loud, with OM-like tension, and the mahogany side and back give a good sound separation. The OM-18 is currently not included in Martin's Standard Series lineup, and in that sense, it is a rare piece. Don't miss it!
