Product information

This recent OM-18 made by Maine-based luthier, Matthew Arcara, has just arrived for consignment. It's a traditionally appointed guitar, with rosewood binding, maple purflings, and dot inlays, with the very modern addition of a sound port. Once you start playing this guitar, it's difficult to put it down: the sound is bold, powerful, and effortlessly clear, with stunning volume for its size. Its easy response makes it all the more addictive (and that sound port really lets the player experience the guitar's projection in an exciting fashion). A terrific value in a handmade OM!

We rate this guitar in very good overall condition. It features a super-thin lacquer finish; and while a close inspection does reveal a few pick marks and scratches consistent with regular use, they're almost impossible to see in natural light. Our shop has freshened the setup and inspected the entire structure. Excellent playability, with plenty of room for future action adjustments! Priced with a TKL tweed hard case.
