A double first for this channel - a Preston Thompson guitar and an OM in shipwreck Brazilian rosewood. It was a pleasure to explore this modern take on a classic design.

Does it look and play like a 1930s Martin? Well... not exactly - more like an idealised version of a 1930s Martin with an anchor on the headstock.

Thank you to my friends at The Guitar Showroom for the loan of this beautiful instrument - see more here theguitarshowroom.co.uk

See you in the next one - until then, stay tuned!
