Martin OMC-160GTE Preowned 2013

The Martin OMC-160GTE is a versatile acoustic-electric guitar that combines classic Martin tone with modern player-friendly features. Built on the comfortable OM platform with a Venetian cutaway, it offers excellent access to the upper frets, while the solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid sapele back and sides delivers a well-balanced tone with strong lower midrange, clear highs and rich projection. The deeper body adds extra volume and punch for both stage and studio use.

A modified low oval mahogany neck with a Black Richlite fingerboard keeps the playing experience fast and comfortable, and the onboard Roland COSM preamp provides natural, articulate amplified sound with simple controls. This 2013-built example is in good condition for its age, with light playwear to the top and evidence of a small number of past repairs, including a neck reset, a crack repair near the neck join, a reglued bridge and some binding touch-ups; it plays beautifully, with a confident medium action and the classic Martin low-end punch, making it ideal for a gigging performer after a proven, well-loved OM. Includes the original hardshell case.
