Who wouldn't appreciate an exquisite OM guitar? The Martin OM-21, a close relative of the OM-28, boasts a similar wood structure, comprising a solid Sitka Spruce top and solid East Indian Rosewood for both the sides and rear. This time-honored wood pairing yields an exceptionally even sound with a brilliant, distinct clarity in the higher registers. Coupled with its scalloped X top bracing, the guitar produces a rich, precise tone that fits perfectly in both ensemble settings and solo performances. The Martin OM-21's design is elegantly simple and unadorned, embodying the essence of a straightforward, no-frills guitar. Its beauty lies in its simplicity. A hardshell case is included with the guitar.
