Martin OM-42 Acoustic Guitar w/ Hardshell Case, Left-handed - Natural

Overview of Martin OM-42 Acoustic Guitar w/ Hardshell Case, Left-handed - Natural

The stylish design of the 40 Series adds panache to the classic tone and feel of East Indian rosewood back and sides, a spruce scalloped X-braced top, and hand-fit dovetail neck joint. Open geared tuners, antique white binding, polished gloss finish, a tortoise colored pickguard and abalone pearl inlay offer shimmer with exemplary tone. Long scale and a sleek modified low-oval neck with narrow taper mean strumming and picking for hours in comfort and bliss.

The Martin OM-42 (2018) acoustic guitar shares the same impeccable level of appointments as its 40 Series big siblings, but that's where the family resemblance ends. While a dreadnought is great for flat-picking, the smaller and exceedingly comfortable OM-42 is built for finger-picking and layering. Studio guitarists have long used Martin Orchestra Model guitars to add depth and dimension to a track, and the OM-42 delivers a remarkably rich tone that sits beautifully in a mix. The Martin OM-42 is beautifully crafted true to Martin tradition, featuring a solid spruce top, with sides and back of East Indian rosewood. Martin's sleek, Modified Low Oval neck with High Performance Taper offers silky playability up and down the Plek'd-to-perfection ebony fretboard
