Details
This Martin Custom Shop OM was inspired by the abalone-bordered 41-style but it includes some cosmetic and structural upgrades. The back and sides are made with wild grain Indian rosewood with quilted bubinga binding on all edges of the body, neck & headstock. The top is Sitka spruce with Martin’s VTS treatment. Despite all the visual treats, especially the crazy grain in the back, the real prize is the tone and volume. When you dig in with a flat-pick this OM has lots of headroom and projection with a nice balance of bass and treble. Yet it responds to a light touch, so those who favor subtle fingerstyle playing will be equally rewarded.
