The Martin Custom Shop OM 20th Century Limited is an extraordinary expression of traditional acoustic craftsmanship, combining exquisite tonewoods, intricate detailing, and the finest Custom Shop construction. Featuring a Sitka spruce top with Vintage Tone System (VTS), paired with Guatemalan rosewood back and sides, this exceptional orchestra model delivers remarkable visual elegance and tonal sophistication. European flamed maple binding, custom multi-stripe appointments, and an ebony pickguard with custom inlay create a distinctive aesthetic that celebrates Martin's rich heritage.
The genuine mahogany neck features a comfortable Vintage Deluxe profile with a standard taper, joined to the body at the 14th fret. An ebony fingerboard with custom mother-of-pearl inlays, abalone side dots, and 20 frets provides an elegant and refined playing experience. Its 25.4-inch scale length and 1 3/4-inch nut width offer the familiar feel and string spacing favored by discerning fingerstyle and flatpick players. The ebony pyramid bridge, compensated bone saddle, and Liquidmetal bridge pins complete its carefully considered appointments.
Built using traditional dovetail neck joint construction and hide glue, this OM features scalloped X-bracing crafted from Adirondack spruce with VTS, delivering exceptional resonance, responsiveness, and dynamic expression. The combination of premium spruce and Guatemalan rosewood produces a beautifully balanced voice, with articulate trebles, rich harmonic complexity, warm bass response, and impressive projection. Waverly gold open-back tuning machines, an ebony headplate, and a custom diamond headstock complete its elegant vintage-inspired character.
Part of an exceptionally limited edition of just 20 instruments, this Martin Custom Shop OM 20th Century Limited represents a remarkable celebration of craftsmanship and acoustic tradition. Each instrument features a numbered embossed paper label, with this example representing one of only 20 made. Pleked for outstanding precision and playability, finished with a gloss body and satin neck, and accompanied by its hardshell case, this remarkable instrument is a special opportunity to own a truly distinctive piece of Martin Custom Shop artistry.
