DISC Martin OMCXAE Electro Acoustic, Black

Full Description

High Pressure Laminate Construction

The Martin OMCXAE features a body constructed entirely from HPL, providing the player with a durable instrument built from a sustainable material. HPL is an engineered material, designed specifically to make guitars extremely durable and resistant to humidity, even more so than wood. In addition, the Martin OMCXAE Electro Acoustic is an idyllic companion for the travelling player, as its HPL construction is able to easily withstand humidity and constant changes in environment. Furthermore, HPL's tonal output is bold, pure, and well-balanced across the sonic spectrum whilst providing the player with a unique, distinct tone that is well-suited to a wide range of genres and techniques. Overall, the HPL back and sides still maintain the premium quality of Martin's meticulous standards.

Sustainable Neck & Fingerboard

Constructed from hand rubbed black birch laminate, the OMCXAE's neck adds a uniquely great tone to the guitar's sound while offering a smooth platform for the left hand with a pleasing aesthetic appeal. Additionally, the neck features a performing artist profile and a high performance neck taper for enhanced playability, providing a comfortable playing experience throughout long, enduring sets. Furthermore, the neck is topped with an FSC certified richlite fingerboard that simulates the sonically pleasing nature of ebony, adding sustain a plenty of bite to the overall sound.

000-14 Fret Cutaway Body

The OMCXAE Electro Acoustic features a 000-14 fret cutaway body, similar in proportion to concert sized guitars. The OMCXAE's 000-14 fret body produces crystal clear clarity and superb tonal balance with superior sustain across the top-register. Additionally, its HPL build, 000-14 fret body and scalloped X-bracing allow the OMCXAE to project a full, rich, and sonically-even tone, perfect for solo work or group jams. Furthermore, the OMCXAE also provides a comfortable playing experience throughout both seated and standing performance due to its curvaceous shape, whilst its nipped in waist enables the player to hold the guitar close to the body for easier playability. For added comfort, the Martin OMCXAE also features a venetian cutaway profile, providing easy access to upper frets and more challenging chords with ease.

Fishman Sonitone

Equipped with a discreet Fishman Sonitone preamp, the Martin OMCXAE is ideal for live performance and studio environments. The preamp is subtly mounted within the soundhole, and offers basic sound tweaking for live and rehearsal settings. In addition the quality Fishman preamp is versatile and responsive, and features rotary controls for tone and volume. With this, the player can shape their sound by simply plugging in to an amplifier or PA system and tweaking the tone control to personal preference, perfect for the performing musician.

Scalloped X-Bracing

Scalloped bracing stops the guitar from collapsing under string tension and shapes the guitar's sound, allowing the top to vibrate more freely yet remains incredibly stable. Scalloped bracing also provides more emphasis to the bass response of the guitar and has been rewarded for enhancing the guitar top production.
