Martin Trial OM-21 Standard '22 Rare Model Long Scale Acoustic Guitar

Description

Made in 2022

Sound.
Although the wood grade is the same as that of the OM-28, the sound is a little more rustic than that of the OM-28, with an image of a sound somewhere between that of a Style 18 and a Style 28.
This indescribable and exquisite sound is one of the main reasons why this instrument has a reputation as a hidden masterpiece.
The use of Indian rosewood for the sides and back makes it hard and beautiful, with excellent sustain, but it is not as expansive as the Style28,
The sound is not as expansive, hard, and gorgeous as the Style28, but has a pleasant warm, rustic, and mellow sound similar to the Style18.
However, the contours of the sound are clearer than those of the Style18, and the sound spread is exquisite, neither too wide nor too narrow, giving this unit its unique character.
Once you have tasted this pleasant feeling, you will not be satisfied with Style18 and Style28.

The condition of this model is very rare, so if you are looking for a good condition one, don't hesitate to get it!

Model Description
The OM-21 combines sound tension and good balance!

The Standard Series REIMAGENED (2018) has been newly reborn with specification changes to the current standard model.

Style 21 with aged toned spruce top and rosewood sides and back.
The neck features Modified Low Oval High Performance Taper.

As for the differences from the OM-28, the position marks, binding, bridge pins, end pins, and other decorations,
The grade of wood is the same as that of the OM-28.
The bracing pattern, which is the key to the sound, is standard X-scalloped.

The long scale (645.2mm) of this instrument gives it a stronger tension, which increases the tension of the sound compared to the normal short scale (632.4mm) Triple-O.

We hope you will enjoy the OM-21, which combines the tension of a dreadnought (long scale) and the balance of a Triple-O body.
