Hardshell - Geib Style

Loud as life itself. We are head over heels with this M-42 David Bromberg Signature from Martin! The M body with its 16 inch lower bout has added power and projection, while still playing as easily and intimately as an OM—the best of both worlds, in our opinion. Indian Rosewood is paired up with Italian Alpine Spruce and a sparkling 42-style appointment package, plus a block lettered C.F. Martin headstock logo nodding to Bromberg’s original Martin archtop conversion from the 1960s. This is number 68 of 83, has been well maintained since 2005, and is ready for plenty more action!

This is a very hard model to find as they have all sold out quickly. I love the 0000 size as it gives a big bass response and moves almost as much air as a dreadnought. It’s a powerful guitar, versatile and beautiful.
