FS: Martin OM-28 Marquis Madagascar
Carl
is a 2007 and is in immaculate condition. It has no dings, scratches, or
issues. It comes with its original hang tags, Martin Care Manual, and, of
course OHSC.
I think this is one of the best OM guitars out there, especially for the
price. You can compare it to any small luthier's version in any respect you
want and it's doubtful that their guitar will beat this one in either fit,
finish, quality, features, or most importantly, tone. Bourgeois, Dalton,
Santa Cruz, Lowden, Schoenberg, etc have discovered nothing new about
acoustic guitar building that Martin doesn't already know, imho, except that
they have to charge more. In the cases where Martin has decided to actually
APPLY its knowledge, such as in its Marquis, Golden Era, and Authentic
lines, the wheel has not been re-invented (unless you like those sliding
door soundholes that Monteleone has put in some of his guitars) by any of
those guys, and I say that with all due respect to them. I have a high
regard for the private small luthier and own a couple myself.
Some of you may have noticed that I had one of these same models up for sale
recently. I owned two. That one had a small luthier-repaired ding. It is
sold and the buyer sent me an exceptionally thankful email. He still hasn't
found the repair and he loves the tone.
This one has no such issue and its tone would be hard to beat.
I had not intended to sell it, as I really like this guitar, but a series of
things arose which changed my mindset.
I collect guitars as a hobby, having over 20 of them, many of them vintage
guitars. So, the things that changed my thinking:
First, this past Monday I acquired a "real" 1932 sunburst OM-18. It is
amazing.
Second, the same seller has an excellent 1930 0-21 which I'm gassing for and
for which I need to raise the money.
Third, I own a 1994 TJ Thompson Schoenberg-Martin Soloist (an OM). You can
see that having both a '32 OM and a Schoenberg OM makes having the newer
Martin OM-28MM a little redundant. I just can't play them all, and they are
so similar, even in their differences.
Fourth, I have decided to shift away from newer guitars and try to enhance
my vintage acoustic collection, particularly Martins.
There you have it. Please direct any inquiries to me directly via email at
crothman AT optonline DOT net.
I want to net $3500 for this guitar and have an idea or two to make this
economically easier for both the buyer and the seller. Email me if you're
interested and we'll talk. Of course, NY area buyers who would like to come
and check it out are welcome.
Thanks.

I know the economy is tanking, but I thought I'd remind you that I have this
most wonderful 2007 OM-28MM for sale.
It is in as-brand-new condition and has its hang tags and paperwork. It is
flawless, plays perfectly, and has wonderful tone.
Do be reminded that madagascar rosewood has similar tonal properties to
brazilian and is a lot more expensive than indian rosewood. It is also on
the endangered species list and can only be obtained these days through
custom orders. Martin is now getting about $5600 for this guitar with a
several month waiting period (so I've been told by someone who ordered one).
I would not sell this guitar, it's that good, but I do have two other OM's,
including an original from the '30's, so this becomes redundant for me, and
I have an eye on a 1930 0-21 I want to get. Frankly, this is the first time
in a couple of years that I thought I needed to be responsible enough to
sell something first before buying another. So we're all in the same
economic boat.
On the other hand, I'm only looking to net a FIRM $3300 for this otherwise
hard-to-find and more expensive guitar. You have to cover the
shipping/insurance though. It's a very good offer for a an excellent guitar.
The conundrum is that if the economy improves, the price of this guitar will
go back up too... ;-)
I'm not that interested in trade offers because then I'd still have to do
the work of flipping your trade. My goal is earning the money for that '30
0-21. Unless, of course, your trade offer is a much more valuable guitar
like a '37 D-18, or if you happen to have a '30 0-21 you want to trade
straight up! :-)

Thanks for looking.
p.s. if my ad appears twice, I apologize. It's just that it had not gotten

gone wrong.
