New for NAMM are two additions to Martin's Standard Series guitars.

The OM-41 Special, crafted with East Indian rosewood back and sides and a scallop braced Sitka spruce top, is further enhanced with vintage style appointments such as snowflake fingerboard inlays, toned top lacquer, grained ivoroid bindings and butterbean tuners.

The OM-42 Koa combines Martin's elegant vintage Style 42 appointments with the beautiful figuring of flamed Hawaiian koa back and sides. When combined with a scalloped Sitka spruce top, the resulting tone is powerful yet balanced.

Both models are presented in the format of Martin's popular long scale "OM" Orchestra Model with a 1-3/4" neck width, perfectly suited for fingerstyle play.
