Built in 2002, 15 years before Bill Collings passed away, this amazingly gorgeous OM-42 has about everything you’d want from a guitar - Brazilian Rosewood, Adirondack spruce, Abalone inlay, etc.

Custom built, this OM has a fun backstory: originally coming through the shop, this was sold to its current owner, who, after owning it for a little bit, noticed there was one little “blemish” in the grain of the top wood. The owner reached out to Bill Collings, who remarked that he was surprised he let it leave the factory like that, and sent the owner an index card with a penny from 1833 taped to the top, with instructions to glue the penny over the blemish and treat it as an homage to Martin (which was founded in 1833).

The back and sides are a gorgeous cut of Brazilian rosewood, the top is Adirondack (plus one penny), and the neck is Honduran mahogany. 1 ¾ nut with a hybrid V profile, extremely comfortable, and plays excellently.

In essentially new condition minus the penny, and comes with an Ameritage case.
