The Martin Standard Series OM-42 offers the perfect blend of visual elegance and vintage tone, designed for players who appreciate refined detail and uncompromising sound. Built with East Indian rosewood back and sides and a solid spruce top, this 14-fret Orchestra Model delivers a rich, articulate tone with remarkable balance and projection. The scalloped X-bracing enhances its dynamic range, while the dovetail neck joint ensures optimal resonance and sustain. This long-scale guitar features a comfortable modified low oval neck with a high-performance taper for effortless playability.

Visually, the OM-42 is a showstopper, adorned with abalone pearl top inlays, antique white binding, and gold open-gear tuners with butterbean knobs. Its ebony fingerboard features stunning Style 45 snowflake inlays, completing the luxurious aesthetic. Whether you're fingerpicking or strumming, this guitar offers a sublime playing experience that's built to inspire both onstage and off.

This 2018-built guitar is immaculate - aside from the lightest of pick marks on the pickguard, it is virtually brand new! As one of Martin's flagship OM's, the timbers selected throughout are stunning, and the tasteful Style 42 purfling, rosette and inlays are wonderful. The action is low and buzz-free, and once you pick it up it's almost impossible to put down with an intimate, refined voice with incredible harmonic complexity. It's a perfect OM from the world's most renowned builder - a jaw-dropping heirloom guitar in incredible condition! Includes original hardshell case.
