It is an honor to have this instrument in our hands for a time. To describe this as a holy grail guitar honestly doesn’t do it justice.

We have all heard the term a Holy Grail guitar. Well, this is what we all mean. Behold, the 6th Martin OM-45 Deluxe ever made in 1930. This beauty was stamped on 9/23/30. This is an instrument that combines rarity with incredible musicality and tone. I've been fortunate to play many Martin from this era and this one seems to breathe music. It's light and powerful with the sound that only age seems to produce. We are honored to be the custodians for such a historical piece of guitar history. 
There's rare, and then there's rare. This is one of the most exclusive and elusive guitars I've ever held. And it sounds so good! Not only is this 1930 OM-45 Deluxe a central jewel in the crown of American flattop history, it also is in excellent playing condition, and has an explosive voice--quick, hearty, with a direct quality that fires out of the soundhole and barrels down the hall. | Scale Length | 25.4000 in |
