Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Martin’s Custom Shop 18 Style OMC pairs a certified European spruce top with solid cherry back and sides in an OM cutaway body. The top and scalloped X bracing are described as quick and detailed in response, while the cherry construction brings warmth through the midrange and highs. The cutaway reaches the upper frets more easily, and onboard L.R. Baggs Anthem electronics support amplified studio or stage use. Ebony appointments, a compensated bone saddle, and a hardshell case complete the package.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fingerstyle passages where detailed response and dynamic touch are central to the arrangement.
- Acoustic sets that move between unamplified playing and L.R. Baggs Anthem amplification.
- Players who need easier access to upper frets from an OM cutaway body.
