Why We Love This

This Martin Custom Shop OM, with its full Authentic build structure and style-45 cosmetic trim, is simply the most powerful OM we've got in stock. Been looking for that OM you can lean into like a dreadnought? This one will take all you've got to give and fire right back. It's one of our own Custom Shop creations; and it's nice to see it again after a couple years of dedicated play time (it's only gotten better, as you'd imagine). It bears repeating that it's been played; and because the finish is so thin, you'll see some pick wear on the top (as well as some worn finish over the pickguard). We think the minor cosmetic compromises are well worth the trade offs in terms of sonic greatness (not to mention what it'd cost to rebuild this guitar from scratch). Simply stated, an amazing sounding OM, showcasing the old-school construction tactics utilized by the expert craftspeople at C.F. Martin's Custom Shop. Priced with its original hard case.
