The upgrades reflect feedback from Martin enthusiasts and valued partners, delivering a mix of vintage features and modern playability enhancements. Martin OM45 The Martin OM45 is a pinnacle of craftsmanship in the Refresh Standard Series, combining classic features with modern enhancements for a truly exceptional instrument. This brand-new, full-gloss acoustic guitar is crafted with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides and a solid spruce top, delivering a rich, resonant tone with remarkable sustain. The mahogany neck provides a smooth, effortless feel, while the longer 25.4” scale length offers just the right amount of string tension for enhanced clarity. The beautiful pearloid inlays, aging tonewood, and gold open-gear tuners add an elegant touch, making the OM45 as beautiful to look at as it is to play. Martin Retro Plus Models Inspired by Martin's legendary 18-style flagship models, the brand-new 000E and DE Retro Plus dreadnought guitars combine iconic design with advanced craftsmanship. The thermally aged spruce tops deliver a lived-in, vintage sound. This premium feature, long reserved for the Authentic and Modern Deluxe series, is now available for the first time in the Road Series. The Retro Plus models represent Martins that deliver the highest quality at an unbeatable price for serious players. Ideal as a gigging workhorse or a first step into premium acoustic guitars, they will inspire lifelong learning for anyone who picks one up.
