It is a unique creation based on the 1931 Martin OM, with a combination of modern and traditional features. The body is traditional Orchestra model style with the top braced in the 1931 period's forward-shifted X-pattern. It is built with figured Indian sides and back with a tight-grained Sitka spruce top. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 24 1\/4\"-scale 14-fret mahogany neck is slim with a narrow 1 5\/8\" nut width, fitted with a 2-way truss rod and a large diamond volute behind the headstock, a reference to Martin's traditional Style 28 ornament. The neck is faced with an ebony fretboard and headstock overlay which are hand-inlaid in a continuous vine pattern in heavily figured abalone, making for a striking effect. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther ornament includes herringbone purfling on both the top and back, a small \"teardrop\" pickguard, and gold-plated openback Grover tuners. The most modern element is the upper side, which features a modern sidehole soundport; otherwise, the guitar is quite traditional including a very thin and acoustically transparent French polish shellac finish. This is an elegantly built and lovely sounding guitar with a big but refined sound; a one-of-a-kind creation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 40 1\/2 in. (102.9 cm.), 15 1\/8 in. (38.4 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 4 1\/4 in. (10.8 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 25 1\/4 in. (641 mm.). Width of nut is 1 5\/8 in. (41 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is some very light play wear to the guitar, but it comes direct from the maker and has not been much used. This is a very nice playing guitar, a lovely and distinctive modern take on the OM design with a unique feel.
