OMC-10E Modern Burst
The Martin OMC-10E Modern Burst pairs a bold 1935 sunburst top with a satin-finished OM cutaway body for comfort, style, and performance. A solid spruce top and solid sapele back and sides deliver balanced tone across all six strings, with the OM’s longer scale length adding extra projection and clarity. Scalloped X-bracing enhances responsiveness, while the cutaway gives easy access to the highest frets. A Performing Artist neck with high-performance taper keeps playability smooth and fast, while faux mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays nod to classic Martin design. With versatile E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case, the OMC-10E Modern Burst is built to inspire and perform wherever your music leads.
