GALLERY: John Porter's Guitar Collection

Porter muses over the highlights of his vast collection used on records by everyone from B.B. King to Eric Clapton to the Smiths.

1990 Martin One-Off Custom OM-42 Deluxe

"OM stands for Orchestral Model, and Deluxe denotes the special abalone inlays on the headstock and pickguard. Porter states," By today's standards, if you were to have a guitar like this made, it would probably be $25k because of the Brazilian wood."
