Full Description
View Full DescriptionMahogany body and neck
For a tone that has power and warmth, there is no better wood than mahogany. Showcased on both the body and neck, mahogany encompasses punchy sonic attributes that team well with its gorgeous tonal resonance brought by emphasis of midrange frequencies. It grows tighter and more focused as it matures, meaning your guitar will only get more beautiful with age. And it looks truly stunning too. This guitar displays the natural grain of mahogany as well as its deep, warm colour. Because sometimes simplicity is best.
To ensure you can play comfortably, the mahogany body features a sleek cutaway design. This enables you to slide up the silky yet sturdy neck right to the higher frets without any impediment. Those upper notes will be gloriously clear whatever the technique, promising a captivating show for anyone who listens and, more importantly, a sublime and effortless experience for you.
Smooth, flawless fretting
Practice for hours and hours on a strong, durable mahogany neck. It has been fashioned in a modern, high performance shape that enhances playability. Featuring a low oval profile and performing artist taper, you will be able to play with immense comfort. And attached on top is a gorgeous East Indian rosewood fretboard, the perfect accompaniment to mahogany. Rosewood lets you experiment with endless techniques and styles thanks to an even response across the whole frequency range. It has the ability to balance out any harsh frequencies, so you won’t get any piercing notes that sound out of place. Rosewood's versatility and even tone makes it a popular and reliable tonewood for fretboards, so you know you'll be playing with a tried, tested, and widely approved feature.
Not only is rosewood's tone incredibly balanced, lending itself to different playing styles, but it also enhances your sound magnificently. Emanating a stunning richness that teams wonderfully with mahogany, rosewood offers a sparkly clear sound that floats beautifully above the resonance of the OMC-15ME's body. It allows you to project every single note with clarity whilst still retaining complex, immersive depth.
Stability and durability
Located inside the resonant mahogany body is an X-brace, a sturdy structure that prevents the guitar's body from collapsing under high string tension or excessive playing. Crafted from Sitka spruce, the brace also offers divine tonal characteristics by bringing sparkle and a broad dynamic range. It allows the top of the guitar to vibrate freely whilst retaining structural integrity. Tune up and play without worrying about any potential guitar body tragedies, X-bracing is strong enough to withstand any amount of pressure and even enhances your sound whilst doing so.
Innovative Fishman electronics
Martin have gone one step further with this guitar to offer you the most incredible dynamic sound. The Fishman Matrix VT Enhance NT1 electronics respond brilliantly to the natural tonal qualities of the OMC-15ME's mahogany construction and projects them with astonishing volume that doesn't compromise on clarity. Such a gorgeous guitar body retains its authentic, acoustic design as no soundholes are cut into its side, meaning this electronic system is wonderfully discreet. Perform with another dimension of sound and experience the premium quality that Martin is known for.
