Introduced in 1930, the OM-45 Deluxe was the most elaborate expression of Martin’s early Orchestra Model. Current archival research identifies only eleven original OM-45 Deluxe guitars, making it one of the rarest production designs of Martin’s Golden Era. Its Brazilian rosewood body and Adirondack spruce top were surrounded by Style 45 pearl work, with additional ornamentation extending to the pickguard and bridge, complemented by a torch-inlaid headstock and engraved gold planetary tuners with pearl buttons. Bagnasco & Casati’s recreation brings that extraordinary specification back through traditional construction rather than simply reproducing its appearance. The long-scale early-OM structure remains at its foundation, while the extensive pearl work, inlaid bridge and pickguard, bound fingerboard and elaborate headstock distinguish the Deluxe from every other instrument in the Adirondack Project. You can secure the slot today with a non-refundable deposit $6,500 for this special B&C Guitar.
