Martin's Standard Series guitars have been setting the tone for some 200 years and will continue to do so for the next 200. You'll find all the iconic models that have been so indicative of Martin as the leading brand and the "acoustic flattop" in general. And there's nothing standard about the Standard Series; each guitar is handmade in the USA in the time-honored Martin tradition. Whether you go for an 18 or a 40, an OO or a D, each has that traditional, dry and woody character that is so unmistakable to that signature Martin sound.
The OM has the longer 25.4" scale length compared to the 000 making the tone is a little tighter, louder and more brilliant. That is why guitarists like Eric Clapton and John Mayer love this model! One will appreciate the long scale’s string tension for dropped tuning or her slightly punchier character when pushed with a strong attack.
