OM-style body brings sweeping 6-string versatility
Every inch of the OMCX1E is primed to deliver stage-ready performance, starting with a foundation built upon Martin’s ever-versatile OM platform. One step down from a dreadnought, this shape is oft considered the sonic Swiss Army knife of Martin’s catalog. Whether you’re fingerpicking, strumming out chordal accompaniment, or dishing out flatpicking finesse, the OMCX1E’s balanced response and deep, rich Martin tone excel in almost any acoustic-electric application imaginable. And when you feel the need to climb up to the dusty end for a singing solo or cramp-inducing extended chord voicing, the OMC1XE’s deep cutaway offers unimpeded access to the fingerboard’s upper register.
Ultra-stable birch laminate neck and Richlite fingerboard
A road-ready workhorse through and through, the Martin OMCX1E’s very foundation is engineered to deliver superlative sound and rock-solid stability. Case in point: this guitar’s multi-striped birch laminate neck remains straight and true even when exposed to dramatic shifts in humidity and environment. Moreover, the neck’s slim, fast, and sleek Performing Artist profile keeps your hand comfortable and free from strain during marathon gigs and sessions. It’s all topped off with a Richlite fingerboard — an eco-conscious renewable material that provides both a smooth feel on your fingers and extraordinary durability far beyond any traditional timber.
