Martin OM-35 Inception Left-Handed

Pairing sonic innovation with environmental sustainability, the Martin OM-35 Inception offers an unabashedly modern twist on Nazareth’s do-it-all Orchestra Model platform. The foundation of this OM is all classic Martin, from the long, dreadnought-style 25.4-inch scale length to the balanced-sounding 000-style body. However, the 3-piece black walnut/white oak back and black walnut sides are certainly not found in the historic Martin playbook, nor is the state-of-the-art Skeletonized Golden Era scalloped X-bracing that supports the European spruce top. When considered in unison, these environmentally friendly tonewoods sing with a sound that’s both contemporary and classic, hitting all the sought-after notes of a “modern”-voiced 6-string — superb balance, optimal top-end articulation, and a recording-ready timbre — without compromising on the depth and power that built the Martin foundation. Plus, the black walnut neck’s GE Modified Low Oval profile, smooth ebony fingerboard, and 1.75-inch nut width preserve the feel of a traditional Martin guitar. You also get a striking set of Ratio machine heads that optimize each tuner's gear for its respective string, along with striking flamed American white oak binding throughout. Sustainable and forward-thinking, the OM-35 Inception ushers in a bold new era for America’s most historic acoustic guitar company.
