Martin OM-42 (2006) – Premium Orchestra Model with Abalone Trim
This Martin OM-42 (2006) — also searched as OM42, OM 42, or Martin OM-42 acoustic guitar — is a refined orchestral model from Martin’s high-end Standard Series, known for its articulate, balanced tone and lush aesthetic appointments. As a smaller-bodied dreadnought alternative, the OM-42 offers exceptional note clarity, rich overtones, and a responsiveness that resonates beautifully for fingerstyle, flatpicking, and recording.
Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, this OM-42 delivers a clear midrange and articulate highs with warm bass response. The scalloped X-bracing enhances openness and projection, while the elegant abalone trim and multi-stripe rosette elevate its visual presence.
This 2006 Martin OM42 is in very good condition, showing only light signs of normal use such as small cosmetic marks, but no cracks, repairs, or structural issues. The guitar plays comfortably with a smooth action and mature tone.
