Description
Lovies Guitars is Excited to offer up this 2006 Martin Pat Donohue Signature OM-30DB Custom Artist Edition Natural Acoustic/ Electric Guitar #5! A rarely seen, highly collectable and unique Martin guitar has landed! The Martin OM-30DB Pat Donohue Custom Artist Edition is one to behold, and a pinnacle of tone for acoustic aficionados.
The back and sides are East Indian rosewood for rich tone, while the top is rare Adirondack spruce for exceptional power and clarity. Scalloped Adirondack spruce top braces enhance its balance and dynamic range. Evocative of Martins from the 1920s, the genuine mahogany modified V-neck with diamond volute features a slotted headstock with square slots and Waverly brass tuners with small ivoroid keys. Another nod to the 1920s is the guitar’s genuine ebony pyramid bridge with wide string spacing and a fossilized ivory saddle.
The appointments are similarly vintage inspired. Intricate multi-colored parallelogram wood marquetry encircles the top and complements the abalone pearl rosette. The wood marquetry chevron backstrip looks spectacular against the rosewood. Bound with grained ivoroid and accented with black/white purfling, the East Indian rosewood headplate features the Martin torch inlay in abalone pearl: the back of the headstock displays the historic Martin pressure stamp. The grained ivoroid-bound ebony fingerboard bears snowflake position markers at the 5th fret, two slotted squares at the 7th fret, a Maltese cross at the 9th fret, and Pat Donohue’s “PD” initials at the 12th fret.
The nut, bridge pins and endpin are crafted from genuine bone, with the latter two sporting abalone pearl dots. Aging toner on the top highlights the tortoise Delmar pickguard and grained ivoroid body binding. Martin’s flawless polished gloss lacquer finish on the body, neck, and headplate enable the OM-30DB Pat Donohue guitar’s subtle beauty to shine. Great Shape with a several minor indents and marks, light buckle wear, pickguard marks, hardware tarnish, 8.5/10! LR Baggs pickup installed. NO Breaks, Cracks or Repairs. All of our guitars are fitted with a fresh set of our favorite strings by Stringjoy!
