OM18 Authentic 1933

OM-18 Authentic 1933
Here to remind you why you fell in love with us in the first place, the new Authentics are constructed the old way - with hide glue, throughout, and historically-accurate detailing confirmed by using a CAT scan machine located at the Smithsonian Institute. Based on a 1933 OM-18 on loan from Fred Oster of Vintage Instruments, this guitar is constructed with a genuine mahogany back and sides and an Adirondack spruce top using an authentic circa 1933 bracing pattern. Featuring period-correct 'OM-18' Authentic-style appointments, right down to the Authentic 1933 neck barrel and heel. Martin's new Vintage Tone System (VTS) is employed for the top and braces.
