Stage-ready OM Performance with Vibrant Ziricote Visuals
Combining Martin’s ever-versatile OM body shape with a convenient cutaway, this limited-edition Martin OMC-X2E Ziricote Special brings stage-ready acoustic-electric performance and stunning aesthetic upgrades to Martin’s Road series. This long-scale Orchestra Model guitar features a solid sapele top with scalloped X-bracing to deliver a warm, crisp, and punchy unplugged character. HPL (high-pressure laminate) back and sides complete the body with a bold ziricote pattern and road-ready durability. On the opposite end, the OMC-X2E Ziricote Special sports a fast-playing Performing Artist neck profile and a 16-inch-radius fingerboard, with the latter boasting old-school long diamond and square inlays. You also get a top-shelf set of satin chrome closed-back tuning machines. It’s all topped off with Martin’s E1 electronics — a package that captures every nuance of your acoustic’s natural timbre, featuring a built-in tuner and comprehensive controls.

Rich and responsive solid sapele top
Ask any of Sweetwater’s acoustic obsessives, and they’ll be quick to tell you that the top of a 6-string is arguably the most important element in determining a guitar’s tone. Luckily, Martin’s OMC-X2E Ziricote Special wears a top-quality solid sapele top that provides you with a warm, resonant, and midrange-rich sound supported by responsive scalloped X-bracing. Combined with the HPL back and sides and Martin’s genre-defying OM body shape, the OMC-X2E represents a true do-it-all 6-string solution for performing guitarists of all styles and backgrounds.
Smooth playability from the Performing Artist neck
Whether you're recording for hours or plan to play late into the night, the Performing Artist neck is ideal for its comfort and smooth response. The slimmer profile is easy on your hand, allowing you to play extended sessions without fatigue. Plus, this neck has also been hand-rubbed with a sleek satin finish, so it is extra smooth.
Onboard E1 electronics
Martin's E1 electronics system lets you quickly connect to your favorite acoustic amp, recording interface, or even house PA systems at venues. Musicians at Sweetwater are impressed with the E1’s tone, volume, and phase-reverse controls, which let you faithfully amplify your guitar's richness and warmth while shaping sound quality to taste. The phase-reverse button is especially convenient for eliminating prickly feedback in tight spaces when standing near your amp is unavoidable. What’s more, the E1 system features a built-in tuner, so tuning breaks onstage and on the couch are equally painless. With onboard electronics this good, you’ll feel confident the OMC-X2E Ziricote Special is equipped for anything.
