This special commemorative OM model celebrates Mark's Guitar Exchange's 40th anniversary with premium appointments. Built with a solid spruce top (aged toner finish) and striking black walnut back/sides, it delivers the OM body's signature balance of clarity and projection. The Golden Era scalloped bracing enhances responsiveness while the comfortable GE-modified low oval neck and ebony fingerboard (with abalone Old Style 18 inlays) ensure effortless playability.

Finished with elegant black binding, faux tortoise pickguard, and Ratio™ tuning machines, this guitar blends classic OM-18 character with modern refinements. The 25.4" scale length offers enhanced string tension and articulation, making it ideal for fingerstyle players.
