Product information

The voice of this guitar is supremely warm; and the Mahogany body keeps it clear.

Our latest creation from the Martin Custom Shop pairs Engelmann Spruce and Mahogany: it's an OM ideally suited to players with a light touch who want versatility and warmth of tone. Martin made a batch of 00-sized guitars with these Engelmann tops a while back. They were lovely sounding, and inspired us to leap one step further into an OM, which gives fingerstyle players the flexibility to use alternate tunings without sacrificing definition.

The voice of this guitar is supremely warm; and the Mahogany body keeps it clear. Engelmann, the softest of the Spruces, provides an instant response without compromising projection. The guitar is handsomely dressed up with Maple binding and Martin's "Chris Hillman" Sunburst -- essentially, a darker, less-orange take on a vintage Ambertone. We think fingerstyle players in search of a do-it-all guitar with a slightly looser feel and classic looks will love this one. Priced with 3-ply hard case from Martin.
