Description
Featuring ornate cosmetic appointments and dripping with exceptionally rich Martin tone, the OM-42 is absolutely beautiful in terms of both look and sound. It features a time-tested tonewood combination: a Solid Sitka Spruce top that provides a well-defined midrange with crisp highs, and Solid East Indian Rosewood back and sides that yield dense, resonant bass to give the guitar a balanced, yet distinctly responsive overall sound. Chock-full of eye-catching appointments, it exudes luxury with beautifully figured tone woods, gold hardware, and lustrous abalone inlays and purfling. Its exceptional playability is highlighted by its 000-14 fret body size, low profile neck, and 1 3/4” bone nut, making it perfect for fingerstyle players. For an absolutely phenomenal mesh of aesthetics, playability, and authentic Martin tone, there’s no better choice than the OM-42.
Condition:
This OM42 is in excellent condition. It has some very light playwear and a few small surface scratches, but these are barely noticeable. The original hardshell case is included.
