Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

We've seen quite a few of Martin's Golden Era series make their way through the shop; we're always excited to hear we've got one on the way!

This OM is a fine example: equal parts power and precision, sensitive enough to whisper a sweet melody, strong enough to keep up with the bigger guitars. There's a wealth of songs waiting to be written with this one, it's sure to inspire!

From Martin and Co.

Martin & Co. ® has been creating the finest instruments in the world for 183 years.  It continues to innovate, introducing techniques and features that have become industry standards, including X-bracing, the 14-fret guitar and the “Dreadnought” size. One of the world’s leading acoustic instrument makers, Martin guitars are hand-made by skilled craftsmen and women, who use a combination of new design and techniques, along with those introduced by the company founder.
