Blacked-out OM Guitar with Onboard Electronics
Since opening for business in 1833, Martin has focused on two things — playing experience and tone. In each guitar, these two guiding principles are visible. The OMC-X1E is no exception either, and may just be your favorite Martin yet. Made entirely from Jett Black HPL, the body creates a warm, balanced tone. Scalloped top bracing lets the top resonate more freely, improving articulation and projection. The body is outfitted with a birch laminate neck and Richlite fingerboard for breezy playability. Meanwhile, Fishman electronics re-create a natural plugged-in tone. Whether you're a stay-at-home musician or a seasoned road dog, this miniature Martin is sure to become your go-to acoustic.
