The Martin OM-42 is a standout in the Standard Series, combining the tone-forward design of Martin’s revered Orchestra Model with some of the brand’s most elegant decorative appointments. Originally introduced as a high-end acoustic in the mid-20th century, the OM-42 has long been cherished by fingerstyle players and dynamic strummers alike for its balance, projection, and comfort. With its 000-14 Fret Auditorium body and long 25.4" scale, this model offers incredible clarity and string-to-string separation, making it ideal for everything from nuanced solo work to open-chord strumming in a mix. It’s a refined instrument that pays homage to vintage craftsmanship while delivering modern playability.
This latest iteration of the OM-42 brings enhancements that elevate both its sonic depth and tactile feel. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides, the OM-42 produces a warm, full-bodied voice with shimmering highs, rich lows, and an incredibly detailed midrange. The GE (Golden Era) scalloped bracing adds power and responsiveness, making the guitar feel lively under the fingers. The modified low oval neck with high-performance taper and a gloss finish offers smooth, fatigue-free playability for both intricate fingerstyle passages and broader chordal work.
Visually, the OM-42 is among Martin’s most ornate standard models. From the abalone top trim and rosette to the antique white binding and Style 45 snowflake inlays, every detail is dialed in for sophistication. The faux tortoise pickguard, gold open-gear tuners with butterbean knobs, and aging toner top give it a timeless aesthetic. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or a collector seeking a flagship acoustic, the Martin OM-42 delivers a rare fusion of tone, feel, and luxury — an heirloom-quality instrument that inspires at every touch. Available now, this acoustic ships with a hardshell case for convenient transport and premium protection.
