Spruce is a tonewood that delivers the perfect combination of strength and elasticity. This results in a guitar with a wide dynamic range and crisp articulation, making it ideal for a broad spectrum of playing styles—from delicate fingerpicking to aggressive strumming.
Sapele, used for the back and sides of the OMC-10E Modern, shares tonal similarities with mahogany but produces a slightly brighter sound with more treble. The characteristic sapele tone is finely balanced between bass, midrange, and treble, making it suitable for many different playing styles.
The Orchestra Model (better known as the "OM") is considered Martin’s most versatile body shape. It combines the comfort of a 000 model with the bright and lively tone produced by a longer scale length. In fact, the only significant difference between Martin’s OM and 000 models is the scale length: the 000 has a 24.9" scale, while the OM boasts a 25.4" scale—the same as Martin’s historic dreadnought models. This means Martin’s OM guitars offer an outstanding balance of size and volume, exceptional tonal balance, and ample projection. As the icing on the cake, the OMC-10E combines the OM model’s flexibility with a practical cutaway, providing easier access to the upper frets.
Premium Martin guitars like the OMC-10E Modern undergo plek treatment to achieve more consistent playability. Plek Pro is an advanced, computer-controlled process that scans, levels, and dresses the frets so that every note in every position rings out loud and clear with a flawless tone.
With built-in Martin E1 electronics, you can quickly connect the guitar to an acoustic amplifier, a recording interface, or even a PA system on stage. The E1 system’s tone, volume, and phase controls allow you to amplify the OMC-10E’s rich and warm tone while shaping the sound to your needs. The E1’s phase control makes it possible to eliminate unwanted feedback in tight spaces where standing near your amplifier is unavoidable. Additionally, the E1 system includes a built-in tuner, allowing you to tune the guitar without any cable connection—making tuning breaks on stage or on the couch effortless.
