Martin OM-21 Special

Martin OM-21 Special builds on one of Martin's best kept secrets, the classic OM-21. This special edition adds a fatter low end without losing the unmistakeable 21 tone. Somehow this guitar is a beefy sounding OM-21 without losing that unmistakeable 21 tone. its rosewood bindings, herringbone rosette, ebony fingerboard & pyramid bride. The pickguard is upgraded to nitrate tortoise, giving some Golden-Era styling. I expected it to shine on fingerstyle pieces (and it did just that) but its quite a strummer as well.

This video was timely to help me find my guitar. The 2012 0M-21 is redefined to include the features from the Special version, such as the ebony bridge with bone and other playing features. This guitar is IT for me. Thank you Jarvis. You are an inspiration. You bridge the gap by letting music, and especially the guitar, bring us together in mind and soul.

Great review and a great soundingl guitar. Unfortunately martin has discontinued it. They have now put out a new upgraded om 21, something between the old om21 and the om21 special in terms of specs. I hope to see an review of the new one from you soon Jarvis.

I wish Martin would make OM or 000 style guitars with a cutaway and no electronics in the $1500 to $2000 range.

That thing sounds so beautifully

this guitar is ridiculous. I've flipped a lot of acoustics in my time, many more expensive, but I kept this one. among the various santa cruz, collings, limited 4XX-run signature martins, and the om-21 special has some serious high-end tone in something much more affordable that you dont have to constantly worry about dinging at a gig. also has short scale AND a low-profile neck, sweet choice for small hands doing thumb-over chords at the bottom frets, but it does get quite fat near the neck.

especially the strumming sound is incredible on this one!
