Product information

A lightweight guitar with woody depth of tone that rivals instruments twice its price.

The Martin OM-18 is a perennial favorite at TME: its austere look belies the singing, balanced tone lurking within, and we're all suckers for that crisp & clear Mahogany / Spruce projection. And we've longed for an OM-18 that'll compete with a boutique guitar's sound without jumping out of the Martin Standard Series price point.

Enter our latest Custom Shop creation: and OM with classic Style-18 appointments, Standard Series specs, and upgraded Italian Spruce top. These are lightweight guitars with a woody depth of tone that rivals instruments twice its price. If you've longed for a purely-acoustic Standard Series OM-18, and your ear gravitates towards the more colorful, powerful tone imparted by Italian Spruce, then we should talk! Priced with 3-ply hardshell case from Martin.

Please note ~ the wood grain shown in our photos may vary slightly from an instrument received after online checkout.
