NAMM 2026 Curation: Master-Grade Tonewoods Meets Golden-Era Artistry
The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present this breathtaking Martin Custom Shop OM (Orchestra Model), with woods hand-selected by Brian at the 2026 NAMM Show. Designed for the most discriminating player, this one-of-a-kind acoustic instrument pairs an exceptional Premium Adirondack Spruce top with magnificent, highly figured Premium Cocobolo back and sides, framed in luminous European Flamed Maple binding and opulent Style 41 Select Abalone pearl trim.
Crafted around Martin’s legendary 000/OM 14-fret body architecture, this Custom Shop instrument delivers an astonishing acoustic voice. The hand-shaped Golden Era scalloped 1/4" Adirondack Spruce X-bracing unlocks vast headroom, lightning-fast transient response, and rich harmonic overtones. Cocobolo—celebrated for providing the deep, resonant low-end of true Dalbergia rosewoods paired with bell-like treble clarity—makes this OM an absolute powerhouse for fingerstyle soloists and flatpickers alike. Accentuating its elite heritage, the ebony fingerboard features Style 45 Reduced Hexagon Select Abalone inlays, a 1-3/4" bone nut, and a High Performance Taper GE Modified Low Oval neck for effortless playability across all 20 frets.
