For The Twelfth Fret’s 35th anniversary, we ordered a number of custom shop Martin OM-35 guitars, with commemorative labels signed by CF Martin III. The OM-35 itself was in production from 2003 to 2007, superseded by the OM-35E – the same guitar with a stock pickup. This example has a K&K Pure Mini passive pickup set installed.

Hibbs was a woodworker, woodworking instructor and trained musician in the Cambridge, Ontario area.

This model makes a few important changes to the original Jaguar layout, substituting a pair of humbucking pickups for the original single coils, and pairs a standard ‘tune a matic’ style bridge with the original style locking trem unit.
