Martin OM-45 Custom 2025, Natural

This custom Martin 000/OM 45 Style guitar is a true masterpiece, crafted with hand-selected materials by the owner of Haggerty's Musicworks in Rapid City, South Dakota. The guitar was inspired by the model inside the Martin Museum which houses one of only 11 made in 1930. 

In 1930, there were only 11 guitars made of this model and was once considered the pinnacle achievement of Martin's Golden Era.  We decided this would be a fantastic guitar to recreate but with a couple modern upgrades.  Todays recreation includes a truss rod where there was not one on the originals and modern tuners instead of the banjo style tuners. These added features will keep this guitar in pristine playing condition for generations to come. The last photo in this listing is from the original guitar inside the Martin Museum.

The top is made from premium Adirondack spruce, delivering unparalleled resonance and dynamic range, while the back and sides feature premier Brazilian rosewood, known for its rich, full-bodied tone. The guitar is elegantly bound with European flamed maple, complemented by a classic Style 45 Black White Fiber and Antique White rosette for a timeless aesthetic.
The 1930s Style Belly bridge pairs beautifully with the 12/4 (Twelve Quarter) genuine mahogany neck, shaped in a low-profile design for comfortable, smooth playability. The black ebony fingerboard is adorned with exquisite Golden Era Style 45 Snowflake inlays made from select abalone, offering both visual elegance and historical authenticity. Waverly Gold 4065-G tuning machines with vintage ivoroid buttons provide both aesthetic charm and precision tuning stability.

This guitar features a traditional dovetail neck joint, a solid headstock with the iconic Martin logo in select abalone, and bone nut material for superior sustain and clarity. Spanish cedar ribbons line the interior, adding to the guitar’s structural integrity and tonal depth. Finished with a high-gloss body and neck, this one-of-a-kind Martin 000/OM 45 Style guitar is not only a visual stunner but also a sonic masterpiece, capturing the essence of vintage craftsmanship with modern precision.
