Martin OMC-16OGTE Acoustic Guitar Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

Martin's OMC-16OGTE seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, featuring sustainable woods and a Roland COSM preamp that enhances its plugged-in sound. The playability is praised, making it a versatile choice for stage performances. However, while the guitar shines in functionality and comfort, its acoustic tone may leave some players wanting more depth. The innovative use of materials like Richlite is a pleasant surprise, but purists may still prefer classic woods. Overall, this guitar is an excellent option for performers seeking reliability and adaptability on stage, though those seeking a purely beautiful acoustic sound might be left slightly disappointed.

"(I)t's a Martin OMC... I went through three of these guys; this model is just like an off-the-rack guitar, kind of the second-least expensive Martin electric-acoustic."
