2004 Marc Beneteau Walnut OM

A lightly built OM with walnut back and sides by Marc Beneteau that offers a warm and open bass end and strong trebles. It’s one that’s equally at home played fingerstyle or strummed, and is a remarkably versatile and great sounding mid-sized guitar.

Scalloped X bracing and a top that looks to be Engelmann spruce. Figured maple bindings accented by multi-layered purflings on the top, sides, and back. The rosette pulls in matching walnut, and is completed with rosewood and maple lines. Ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, Gotoh pegs.

Crack free and in excellent playing order, this Beneteau appears to have had a neck reset in its past, and has had bolts (and abalone plugs) added to the bridge. It sports a passive undersaddle pickup, and has had a strap button added to the heel. There is light fretwear in the first position, and a little bit of playwear by the soundhole as is visible in the photos.

1-23/32” nut width, 2-3/16 string spread at the saddle, 25.4” scale. Low D neck carve.
