Just a brief note to say how incredibly happy I am with your Custom 00-28V. In addition to your great service and willingness to work with me to get the deal right, the guitar you sent turns out to be just about the finest new custom Martin I've had (and I've had a few, as your records alone will show).
This amazing guitar is head and shoulders above most of the guitars my friends and I have A/Bd against it. You've got a real winner here and I consider myself fortunate to now own one. It's a Keeper!
Impressive tone and understated elegance have exemplified previous Laurence Juber Signature and Custom Artist Editions, and the OMC-LJ Pro continues that tradi-
tion. The traditional OM body – like previous LJ OMs - features a graceful rounded cutaway, and scalloped 1/4” Adirondack spruce top braces combine with the 25.4” OM scale to as- sure impressive resonance and dynamic range. The Adirondack spruce top and flamed big leaf maple back and sides are deftly ac- cented by a Style 28 wood fiber rosette,
fine herringbone top inlay, fine black/white wood fiber back inlay, HD-style zigzag center strip purfling, and grained ivoroid binding. The grained ivoroid endpiece is framed by fine black/white wood fiber inlay. The ebony
belly bridge is fitted with a compensated saddle The maple neck features a “Modified V” profile, gener- ous13/4”widthatthebonenutandadiamondvoluteat the base of the headstock. The handsome black ebony headplate bears the classic Old Style gold “C. F. Martin & Co.” decal and nickel Waverly tuners with butterbean knobs. The ebony fingerboard is unadorned – with no po- sition markers. A grained ivoroid heelcap and chrome strap
button complete the neck. The belly bridge is fitted with a compensated bone
saddle. The bridge pins are crafted from genuine ebony. In the fingerstyle guitar tradition, this Custom Artist Edition doesn’t have a pickguard. Aging toner on the body and neck, and Martin’s polished lacquer finish give this
guitar unique, vintage-style patina. The OMC-LJ Pro Laurence Juber Custom Artist Edition
comes factory-equipped with D-TAR Wavelength elec- tronics. “It provides all the dynamic headroom I need and captures the natural sound of the guitar really well,” he commented. As for the guitar itself, “I didn’t set out to design a killer stage guitar, but the OMC-LJ Pro has turned out to be exactly that. The sound doesn’t embrace the player, but rather projects to the audience and offers a
clean palette for the artist to shape his or her sound. Its transparent tone also makes it an easy guitar to
record.” One would think Juber’s recording
and touring schedule should have taken all of his time during the last two years, but apparently not so. In addition to the previously mentioned accomplishments, he wrote music for the up-coming video game “Diablo III,” served as producer and musical director for two stage productions, including “It’s the Housewives,” a musical he co-wrote with his wife Hope, and
produced Al Stewart’s latest album. Delivered in a hardshell case, each Martin OMC-LJ Pro Laurence Juber Custom Artist Edition guitar bears an interior label personally signed by Laurence Juber and
