SOLD Millman OM 2023

EvansDrD

A bit of tentative sale here but it might be of interest 

Some of you will be familiar with Devon luthier and all-round gent James Millman. He is ex-Brook, of course, which means something, but I think he very much stands on his own terms. He has a great build ethos that you can read all about online, and the results speak for themselves 

This is an OM guitar - spruce top, South American mahogany for the neck, back and sides. Ebony 'board and appointments.  Schaller Grantdtune tuners with ebony buttons. Oil finish. Hiscox case. 

Measurements and spec are all James' standard. Neck is a v.comfortable soft D; nut is 45mm; fretboard is compound radius (12" - 20"); not sure of the weight but it is unbelievably light  

Not much else to say, it is a thing of beauty. You can see this very guitar in progress on his Facebook page, completed in June of this year 

I am thinking of moving it on because, quite simply, I am not really a flattop player. I wish I was, but I am not. And I would rather this gets played by somebody who can do justice do it 

It is 6 months old (less) and in tip top condition. It has 'settled' nicely and has since been fine tuned by a well regarded tech (i.e. allowing for the inevitable 'movement' with a brand new guitar handmade with all solid woods)

Some pictures here but happy to take more

Price is £1300 which I hope is fair 

Happy to answer any questions and you are of course welcome to try 

I am in Manchester but am often in Bristol/Gloucestershire

I would rather not post but meet ups in the usual seedy locations are possible

Bumping as getting interest and offers on eBay, but would rather sell here

WITHDRAWN- had a fair bit of interest (elsewhere) but managed to spend a couple of hours with it this afternoon. It is just too nice to let go. I don't really have the skills as a flattop acoustic player to do justice to it but I am inspired to at least try.

Back up for a bit - a lovely thing but I still can’t do justice to it 

knocked the price way down to £1300 because I got sick of eBay time wasters/scammers

Absolute bargain for small shop solo luthier built guitar. I had a Brook Torridge which I took to James Millman for a service as he had worked at Brook guitars. He didn’t have any of his guitars there to try but he has certainly been trained by master luthiers. I would go for it if I had the money.

Thanks @Bradders ;

I can’t say enough good things about James tbh
