The Richie Sambora Signature Limited Edition 6 string.

Ritchie selected an OM body style for the 6-string limited edition Martin acoustic-electric guitar bearing his name. With a rounded cutaway, the OMC-41 offers balanced tone and outstanding access to the upper frets. The premium solid tonewoods chosen also show a connoisseur's appreciation for tone: tops of Italian alpine spruce for brilliance and richness, and backs and sides of Madagascar rosewood, the tone-wood considered by many to be closest in appearance, projection and clarity to now-rare Brazilian rosewood.

Appointments selected and created for this guitar are equally stunning. The Style 41 top abalone inlay, stands out against the top's unique vintage tobacco (yellow to brown) "Sambora" sunburst. Top, back, headplate and fingerboard are bound in grained ivoroid, and all but the top feature inset black/white fine line inlays. The grained ivoroid end piece and heelcap have identical black/white fine line accents. The distinctive pyramid belly bridge with Stauffer point is carved from black African ebony. A black polished and beveled pickguard protects the top.

Unique inlays highlight both the black African ebony fingerboard and headplate. Beginning at the 1st fret and continuing to the 17th, small abalone hexagon position markers on the fingerboard are bordered with exclusive mother of pearl, which are in turn accented on both sides by delicate black line inlays. Richie Sambora's inlaid signature appears between the 19th and 20th frets. The headplate showcases an exclusive "heart and cross" Martin torch inlay in abalone and mother of pearl inspired by a bracelet designed by Richie Sambora's wife, actress Heather Locklear.

A low profile neck, (1-11/16") diamond volutes at the base of the headstock and the Martin stamp on the back combines a modern feel with classic appearance. Gotoh gold tuning machines with small knobs, and a bone nut and compensated TUSQ saddle provide smooth tuning and precise intonation. The bridge pins and endpin are fashioned from fossilized ivory and topped by colorful pearl dots.

Each Martin OMC-41 Sambora Signature Edition guitar comes with an interior label personally signed by Richie Sambora and C. F. Martin IV. In addition, each guitar will be individually numbered in sequence with the edition total. The edition size of either model will not exceed two hundred instruments

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Play Style: rock, folk, pop

I bought this Richie Sambora OMC-41 6 months ago. The details are superb. Of course with Richie's signature on the fret board this IS the reason to buy this guitar. The guitar plays very nicely. Moving up and down the neck is smooth. The tone is rich. Depending on the type of strings you use, the bass and treble are well balanced. There is one complaint I have with this guitar (also with the other 2 acoustic Martins I own. When I play hammer-ons on the high E string the string often slides off the fret and gives the buzz sound. This does not happen with my other expensive Gibson acoustic nor my much cheaper Charvel acoustic. If you are looking for a signature model, I highly recommend this one. Otherwise, don't shell out this kind of cash.
