Martin Custom Shop OM Bearclaw Engelmann Spruce/Cocobolo Acoustic Guitar

Martin Custom Shop OM Bearclaw Engelmann Spruce/Cocobolo Acoustic Guitar

Hand-selected by Alamo Music Center, this Martin Custom Shop Orchestra Model pairs a Premium Heavy Bearclaw Engelmann Spruce top with Premium Cocobolo back and sides. Primarily found in old-growth trees, the Bearclaw Engelmann Spruce gets its name from the cross-grain patterns that almost appear to be bear scratches. This carefully curated, premium tonewood combination delivers a resonant, rich, and overtone-heavy voice with exceptional touch sensitivity.

This Martin Custom Shop guitar is built exclusively for Alamo Music Center, with hand-selected woods by our team at the Martin Pennsylvania build shop.
