Martin OMC Red Birch Acoustic-Electric Guitar Reviews
10 out of 10
Martin OMC Red Birch Customer Review
Feature:
fine, fine craftmanship. excellent Fishman electronics.
Quality:
Great quality. Should last a lifetime if cared for well. I do go back and forth as to whether i should add a pickguard to protect the finish. haven't yet as i wouldn't like the look as well.
Value:
sure, i'd buy it again because i mean to keep it. only time will tell whether this guitar, with it's somewhat non traditional woods will retain it's value. but, like i say, if you love it and plan on keeping it, who cares.
Desirability:
the pictures do not do this thing justice. it's just flat out beautiful and sexy. when you pick it up and play it, you're in love. very high 'lust' appeal for me....
Sound:
Really fine 'Martin' sound. Plays exceptionally well.
Ease of Use:
Extrememly playable for all types of music. Plays like butter. Gets a 9 for 'ease' just because the Fishman controls are stashed away in the soundhole. that's fine though because once you become familiar with them it becomes natural and having them out of sight greatly enhances the aesthetic beauty of this instrument.
Support:
well, i'm hoping for the best but honestly have not needed any support at all.
