Presenting the Martin OM-42, one of the most iconic guitars in their storied lineup.
From Martin about the OM-42:
"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."
42 level guitars feature hand-inlaid abalone purfling on the edge of the Top, fingerboard exention, and sides.
