Martin for Martin trade

Post by tonefight »

Probably slim chance but WTF, I have a Martin DCPA4R and am looking to trade for something with a 000 or OM body.
The DCPA4R is made in Nazareth, Pa. Has all solid wood construction, Spruce top and Rosewood back and sides. The necks are a more modern design than the traditional Martin neck, slightly wider but less thick. Has Fishman Aura electronics.
Reason for wanting a trade ? This is a strummers dream and sounds great solo w/ vocals but its not as versatile as I'd like for fingerpicking and playing leads over another acoustic guitar.
I'll add cash to trade up and I'll entertain other brands but nothing foreign. Send make, model number, year, wood type, electronics type etc via PM
Thanks

Taking a stab at this one. I have a martin doobie 42 style.. probably not the body type you want but for sure a great tone for fingerstyle.. i bought it new and put it away. it is number 5 of 35 made. and expensive and collectable. list was 8500. on line if you can find one is about 6500.. i want only 5200.. it is mint perfect with the new factory smell. thank, bob

My Martin is being held for a friend for a couple weeks.
Still interested in an OM body Martin for purchase. Not looking for high dollar collectors piece, looking at OM-1GT, OM16,OM 18
