July 10, 1998In 1930, C.F. Martin & Co. offered the OM-45 Deluxe. Just 14 of these instruments were originally made. Priced at $225, the Deluxe was the most expensive flat-top Martin guitar available at the time. Leonard Slye (aka Roy Rogers) played a Deluxe. These highly collectible vintage Martins serve as the inspiration for the Limited Edition OM-45 Deluxe Golden Era® Model. No more than 14 of these instruments will be made, with the construction following the original specifications as faithfully as possible. The Limited Edition OM-45 Deluxe Golden Era model features an Adirondack spruce soundboard with matching braces, an abalone inlaid tortoise color "teardrop" pickguard (unique to this model), hand-engraved banjo tuners with genuine Mother-Of-Pearl buttons, and a replica of the old style 45 mosaic back inlay strip.
Martin Guitar dealers will begin to take orders for this limited edition guitar immediately, although, due to heavy demand for Martin instruments, these guitars will not begin to appear in stores until 1999. For more information, visit their web site at www.mguitar.com. |
