Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 2024 Martin OM-21 Standard is a right-handed, six-string Orchestra/OM acoustic with a Sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides. Its 1/4-inch scalloped X bracing is paired with a body design described for full, even response, giving it a balanced foundation for solo playing or group jams. The solid-mahogany neck uses Martin’s modern low oval/Performance Artist taper, with an ebony fingerboard, 1.75-inch nut width, 25.4-inch scale, and 20 frets. A compensated bone saddle and bone nut complete the setup, and a hardshell case is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fingerstyle playing that benefits from the model’s balanced, full and even acoustic response.
- Solo acoustic sets or group jams using an Orchestra/OM body.
- Players seeking a right-handed six-string acoustic with a 1.75-inch nut width.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Direct onboard pickup or preamp use, as no pickup/preamp is fitted.
