Martin Custom Shop OM 28/45 Adirondack/Wild East Indian Rosewood w/Case 2983337

Serial: 2983337

This Martin Custom Shop OM is a Tone Shop–spec build that brings together pre-war inspiration and elevated custom appointments in a highly versatile, player-focused platform. Designed for balance, clarity, and responsiveness, this guitar delivers the kind of tone and feel that immediately stands out whether you’re in the studio or on stage.

At the core is an Adirondack spruce top paired with wild grain East Indian rosewood back and sides. Adirondack provides exceptional headroom and dynamic range, staying clear and composed even when pushed, while the rosewood adds depth, complexity, and a rich overtone character. The result is a voice that is articulate and focused, with strong fundamentals and a layered harmonic response.

The 000 14-fret body shape offers a balanced, mid-forward tonal profile that excels across playing styles. It’s equally at home with fingerstyle, flatpicking, or light strumming, offering precision and clarity without sacrificing warmth. Golden Era–inspired Adirondack scalloped bracing enhances responsiveness and projection, giving the guitar a lively, immediate feel under the hands.

Visually, this build leans into higher-end Martin appointments with Style 45 hexagon abalone inlays and a matching abalone rosette, adding a level of refinement without feeling overdone. The gloss body finish provides depth and resonance, while the satin neck keeps the playing feel smooth and fast.

The neck is shaped to a GE Modified Low Oval profile with a High Performance taper, offering a comfortable, modern feel with just enough substance to support both rhythm and lead work. Combined with a 1 3/4" nut width and 25.4" scale length, it strikes an ideal balance between spacing, tension, and playability.
