Description
A modern interpretation of one of Martin's most revered pre-war formulas, this Custom Shop OM blends vintage-inspired appointments with exceptional craftsmanship and tone. An Adirondack spruce top, paired with Adirondack bracing and solid mahogany back and sides, produces the kind of lively, responsive voice that only gets better with time. Expect crisp fundamentals, impressive dynamic range and the effortless balance that has made the Orchestra Model a favourite among discerning players for generations.
Finished in Martin's stunning 1933 Ambertone, this Custom Shop build captures the elegance of the Golden Era without feeling like a museum piece. Brown faux tortoise binding, the classic Old Style 18 black maple fibre rosette and ebony fingerboard keep the aesthetics faithful to tradition, while the satin Modified V neck with a modern 1930s heel offers a comfortable vintage-inspired feel. Grover Sta-Tite 18:1 tuners provide smooth, precise tuning stability with understated vintage style.
Equally at home under a flatpick or a light fingerstyle touch, this OM delivers outstanding note separation, warm mahogany fundamentals and the headroom that Adirondack spruce is renowned for.
A beautifully executed Martin Custom Shop instrument that honours the company's pre-war heritage while offering the playability and reliability expected from a modern build.
