2002 is right in the middle of when Martin was building this most limited of runs, the OM-45 GE 1933, and that’s right where this guitar came from. The Golden Era guitars preceded Martin’s Authentic line, and were built with the cream of the crop Brazilian Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce, braced like the 30s prewar Martins, and here outfitted with 45-style appointments and a shade top. It’s obvious at the first pluck of a note that this OM-45 GE has a special brand of tone. Excellent string balance, with the uppers clear and present without dominating the voice. Excels in both Standard and D tunings. Plays easily, hangs in the air an extra moment or two, and it looks like a dream come true.
There’s only ever going to be a tiny handful of these OM-45 Golden Eras in the world; grab this one while you still can.

This Martin is one of the prettiest I’ve seen, and the tone is simply magical. The forward-shifted bracing, Adirondack Spruce, and Brazilian Rosewood really harken back to the holy grail guitars of the 1920s and 30s. This guitar sounds mature and has real character. It’s also powerful and gives you more sound that you might expect from an OM body. I love it.
