Martin’s Authentic line are powerhouse workhorse builds, every single one. This OM-18 Authentic 1933 (from 2012) is no exception! Mahogany back and sides with Adirondack Spruce on top, itself scalloped braced with Adirondack in the Authentic fashion, plus a barrel-and-heel neck profile that feels oh so familiar in hand. Loud and lively! This Authentic comes to us from 2012, serial number 1740537, and is one of the last non-VTS versions of this Authentic 1933 model, setting this one apart from the crowd. This OM has a lot of energy under the hood, and really responds well to both fingertips and flatpicks. It weighs in at a featherweight 3lbs 9oz, too, so there’s no getting tired with this one on your lap. The dark, vintage shade top finish rounds out the image perfectly, and this beauty is in like new condition, itching for more tunes.
