Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

A great Martin that's worthy of the word "special" in all aspects! Gorgeous grain throughout, with a lovely tone to boot! Loved and well taken care of!

From Martin and Co.

The Basics

Historically, 21 styling has represented the most simple appointments offered with rosewood back and sides and a spruce top. The OM-21 Special closely replicates this plain but beautiful style by blending rosewood bindings, a fine patterned Herringbone rosette, a nitrate tortoise pickguard and ebony fingerboard and pyramid bridge. The result is a stunning guitar that pays homage to the Golden Era styling.
