Custom Shop OM-45 De Luxe 1930
The Custom Shop OM-45 De Luxe 1930 is a breathtaking tribute to one of Martin’s most ornate and coveted designs. Built with a Vintage Tone System® Adirondack spruce top, Guatemalan rosewood back and sides, and a thin-finish gloss body, this 14-fret Orchestra Model pairs powerful, responsive tone with showstopping Style 45 appointments. Traditional hide glue construction and VTS treated Authentic scalloped Adirondack spruce X-bracing add impressive resonance and dynamic response, while the long 25.4" scale length and 1 3/4" nut width provide a classic OM playing feel. Abalone inlay adorns the top, back, and sides, while a floral inlaid faux tortoise under-finish pickguard, torch headplate inlay, and Waverly® gold open-gear tuners complete the elegant vintage inspired design.
