No other guitar company has been around and inspiring the evolution of the acoustic guitar for as long as C. F. Martin & Co. and no other acoustic guitar companies designs have been copied as much as theirs. So the Martin Standard Series aren’t just called that – this is the standard that everything else is measured by.Highest quality, tried and true tonewoods, spruce tops and genuine mahogany or East Indian rosewood back and sides – needless to say, all solid – make these guitars an absolute dream for any guitarist. Many of these original Martin shapes have been out there for over a century and all of them have undergone continuous tweaks and improvements over time. These guitars are the result of almost 190 years of Martin history.

The OM build was very popular amongst fingerpickers as a special order model for decades before it finally became a regular, standard Martin model in the 1990s. Today it is the second most copied shape of C. F. Martin & Co. The top is spruce, back and sides are East Indian rosewood while the tortoise patterned bindings tone things down a bit.
