Martin OMC-X1E Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Jett Black

Blacked-out OM Guitar with Onboard Electronics

Since opening for business in 1833, Martin has focused on two things — playing experience and tone. In each guitar, these two guiding principles are visible. The OMC-X1E is no exception either, and may just be your favorite Martin yet. Made entirely from Jett Black HPL, the body creates a warm, balanced tone. Scalloped top bracing lets the top resonate more freely, improving articulation and projection. The body is outfitted with a birch laminate neck and Richlite fingerboard for breezy playability. Meanwhile, Fishman electronics re-create a natural plugged-in tone. Whether you’re a stay-at-home musician or a seasoned road dog, this miniature Martin is sure to become your go-to acoustic.

Performing Artist neck profile makes for easy playability

Have a thing for sleek necks? You’re in luck because the OMC-X1E has one of Martin’s awesome Performing Artist series necks. A City Music favorite, this neck profile is light and speedy. You will love its slim profile, and rejoice when long playing sessions don’t wear out your hand. Whether you need to get through a long set or extended recording session, you’ll be glad you OMC-X1E has a Performance Artist neck.

A buzzworthy fretboard, without the fret buzz

Here’s the skinny on the revolutionary composite fretboard material Martin used on the OMC-X1E: it’s awesome. Unlike wood, Richlite is unaffected by changes in temperature or humidity. No more winter pitting or spring-swell fret buzz! It’s also hard enough to be used as cutting surfaces in the most demanding professional kitchens on earth. The result is a great feeling fretboard that adds killer sustain to your OMC-X1E.
