Premium Tonewoods and Golden Era Bracing for a Timeless Sound

The OM-45 is crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, a combination of tonewoods that's synonymous with the classic Martin sound. The spruce top delivers crisp articulation and a broad dynamic range, while the rosewood back and sides provide warmth, resonance, and balanced projection. The addition of Sitka spruce Golden Era (GE) top bracing, inspired by Martin's vintage models, enhances the guitar's sustain and gives it a more open, "breathy" tone that's perfect for fingerstyle and a variety of musical styles.

Modified Low Oval Neck and Ebony Fingerboard for Effortless Playability

This Martin OM acoustic guitar features a GE modified low oval neck profile that combines the popular modified low oval shape with a vintage-inspired feel. This neck is designed for comfort and playability, with a High-Performance taper that makes fretting effortless. The ebony fingerboard provides a smooth and responsive playing surface, allowing for seamless transitions between chords and fluid lead lines. The thinner fingerboard with beveled edges and refined string spacing at the nut further enhances the guitar's playability and comfort.

Hand-Crafted Quality and Exquisite Appointments

The OM-45 acoustic guitar is built with the same hand-crafted quality that Martin has been known for since 1833. The hand-fit dovetail neck joint ensures a strong and resonant connection between the neck and body, maximizing sustain and tonal transfer. This guitar is adorned with exquisite appointments, including a pearl top, pearl headplate, and snowflake fingerboard inlays. These details not only enhance the guitar's aesthetic appeal but also contribute to its classic tone and feel.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting your musical journey, the Martin OM-45 is a versatile and inspiring instrument that will elevate your playing. Its balanced tone, comfortable playability, and classic design make it suitable for a wide range of genres and playing styles.
