Martin OMC-PA1 - USA 2011

Here is a Martin Performing Artist OMC-PA1, a modern acoustic-electric that blends the power of a dreadnought with the balance and comfort of an orchestra model. Designed as part of Martin’s forward-thinking Performing Artist series, it delivers premium tonewoods, refined playability, and advanced onboard electronics in a versatile, stage-ready package.

This example features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, producing a rich, balanced tone with clear highs, warm lows, and excellent projection. The response is articulate and dynamic, making it equally suited to fingerstyle, strumming, and live performance work.

This example features a comfortable satin-finished neck with a distinctive carve and a cutaway body design for easy upper fret access. The standout feature is the Fishman F1 Aura+ system, offering studio-quality acoustic imaging, onboard tuner, compressor, EQ, phase control, and anti-feedback tools for complete tonal control when amplified.

Playability is excellent, with a smooth, fast neck feel and a well-balanced body shape that sits comfortably whether seated or standing. It feels responsive and inspiring across a wide range of playing styles.

Condition is excellent with only a few very small blemishes on the top, while the back, sides, and neck remain extremely clean. The pickguard still retains its protective film, indicating minimal use. A high-quality, feature-rich Martin that offers exceptional versatility, tone, and performance at a great value.
