Crafted by Joel Whitehead, a long-time repairman for Norm's Rare Guitars who now operates his own full-time repair and building shop in Woodland Hills, CA. This guitar pays tribute to Martin's most prestigious model, the 1930 OM-45 Deluxe, of which only 12 were produced. Its features include abalone purflings at every joint, abalone snowflakes on the fingerboard, a long scale, a 1 ¾" nut width, and a 15" 000 body.
