For sale is this exquisite Martin Custom OM, crafted in the USA. This guitar is truly special.
The top is made from Sitka Spruce and treated with Martin's Vintage Tone System (VTS). You might wonder why older Martin guitars have such a legendary sound. It's because as wood ages, it loses moisture, becoming lighter and more resonant. This natural process can take decades, but Martin's engineers have found a way to accelerate it without compromising authenticity.
Through extensive research and development, Martin perfected their VTS, which replicates the ageing process of vintage instruments with remarkable precision. This isn't really about making the wood look old; it's about recreating the exact tonal characteristics of guitars from Martin's Golden Era. High-tech scans of pre-war Martins and meticulous analysis of their cell structures laid the groundwork for this groundbreaking technology.
Now, let's turn to the back and sides, crafted from Sinker Mahogany. What sets this wood apart is its history. Imagine logs sinking to the riverbed decades ago, preserved by the water's embrace. Today, these "Sinker" tonewoods offer unparalleled richness and resonance, making them prized materials for guitar construction. Just look at our studio photography to see how stunning the back of this guitar truly is.
But the beauty of this guitar isn't just skin-deep. The neck, carved from 12/4 Genuine Mahogany, boasts a modified low oval profile and high-performance taper for effortless playability. Gold Grovers adorn the headstock, while the fingerboard, made of black ebony, features stunning smaller hexagon abalone inlays. With a satin neck and gloss body finished in Ambertone 1933, every detail exudes elegance.
Under the hood, scalloped spruce bracing in an X style ensures optimal resonance and projection. The back dazzles with Style 45 Mosaic purfling, adding a touch of luxury.
But what truly sets this guitar apart is its playability and tonal balance. Each note rings with clarity, inspiring creativity with every strum or pluck. It's more than an instrument; it's a lifelong companion for the discerning musician.
In summary, this Custom OM is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and innovation, offering a timeless sound and breathtaking beauty. Whether you're a collector or a performer, this guitar is sure to captivate and inspire.
