Martin OM-21 2022

The Martin OM-21 shows how much character can be found in simplicity

No extravagant decorations, just exactly what you want as a guitarist: a compelling acoustic voice. This 2022 Martin OM-21 combines the understated appearance of the 21 series with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides. The familiar Orchestra Model feels manageable on the lap and offers plenty of room for a nuanced touch. A guitar for players who would rather listen to their instrument than look at its adornments.

The tone is balanced, with a solid foundation, a clear midrange, and bright overtones. In fingerstyle playing, individual voices remain clearly recognizable, while chords blend beautifully without losing their definition. The scalloped X-bracing allows the top to respond to subtle differences in touch. The 25.4-inch scale length provides a tight string response, ideal when alternating between subtle fingerpicking and rhythmic accompaniment.

The mahogany neck features a Modified Low Oval profile and a satin finish. The ebony fretboard has twenty frets and is fitted with mother-of-pearl position markers. A traditional dovetail neck joint connects the neck to the body, while the Aging Toner gives the Sitka spruce top a warm appearance. This model has no built-in pickup, so the focus remains entirely on its acoustic tone. The included hardshell case protects the guitar during transport and storage.

This instrument is in excellent condition, with no significant signs of wear or damage. All parts are original. Before shipping or collection, the instrument will be inspected and, if necessary, broken in by our technician.

Are you looking for a Martin that doesn't need ornaments to prove its class? Pick up this OM-21 and let your playing tell the story.
