Martin CMEFGLC23 Custom Shop Venetian Cutaway Wild Grain Rosewood Acoustic Guitar - Sunburst

Martin Custom Shop OM-28 with Venetian Cutaway – Exclusively at Sadek Music At Sadek Music, we're thrilled to present a true masterpiece — the Martin Custom Shop OM-28 with Venetian Cutaway, a guitar that combines classic Martin craftsmanship with some unique, tailored appointments. We collaborated directly with our friends at Martin Guitars to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that’s not only a visual stunner but also a tone monster in every sense. The OM-28 model serves as the foundation for this incredible guitar, with wild grain East Indian rosewood for the back, sides, and headstock, offering a captivating, 3D-like visual effect when caught in the right light. This stunning rosewood gives you the rich tonal warmth Martin guitars are famous for, while the addition of highly-flamed Koa for the binding adds a touch of elegance and style. 

For ultimate playability and a contemporary look, we've incorporated a Venetian cutaway, allowing for superior access to the upper frets, making it an ideal instrument for soloists and lead players. In terms of sound, the Martin Custom Shop OM-28 delivers everything you’d expect from the renowned Martin tone. The combination of Sitka spruce top, mahogany neck, and ebony fretboard creates a balanced, pure acoustic resonance that has made Martin's formula of tonewoods the gold standard since the Pre-War era. With its OM-28 body shape, this guitar provides exceptional volume, clear and full tone, and a wide dynamic range that excels in both fingerpicking and strumming. The Venetian cutaway enhances its versatility, allowing players to easily reach the upper frets for expressive solos and intricate melodies.

To make this instrument ready for any performance or recording session, we've equipped it with a Fishman Gold pickup system, delivering clear, natural plugged-in tones that sound fantastic through a DI box, PA system, interface, or recording console. At Sadek Music, we believe that Custom Shop instruments should be truly special — combining the iconic tone and playability of the model with exclusive features that elevate it to a one-of-a-kind piece. This Martin Custom Shop OM-28 is no exception, offering superior build quality, unmatched tonality, and impeccable craftsmanship, making it a true heirloom instrument.
