(USED) There's a frog in our pond! Happy to present this clean-as-can-be M Model from 2021, an original design from Froggy Bottom that combines some of the best attributes of small and medium-sized guitars.
Versatility is the name of the game: While the M has the same lower bout width as an OM (15") it has a slightly deeper body (4 1/4" at the tail block) and a tighter waist. This adds up to something of an "OM on steroids" formula, with more sonic depth, a bit more sustain, but still all of the balance of that model. The tight waist puts it lower in your lap while sitting, so it is imminently comfortable like a good 00. The rounded shoulders and lower bout give it some nice Small Jumbo appeal, visually.
The top and braces are Adirondack spruce, the back, sides and neck Honduran mahogany. At 25 1/8" scale, it's shorter than most Martin-style OMs, but maybe not quite what we would describe as "short scale". It has a 1 3/4" nut, just over 2 1/4" string spacing at the saddle, and a comfortable low oval neck shape.
For visuals, it's classic Froggy: flamed maple body binding with maple butt wedge and heel cap, abalone back strip, abalone rosette, bound peghead with rosewood veneer and Waverly tuners. The fingerboard, bridge and pins are ebony.
Condition here couldn't be better, it looks like it just left the workshop, no issues whatsoever. Includes original hard case.
