This beautiful guitar (one of the prettiest Martin ever designed) is  in excellent with the addition of a later teardrop shaped pickguard in faux tortoise shell (the original version of the 00-21NY had no pickguard). The back of this guitar is extraordinary – old growth, straight-grained Brazilian rosewood of the type we all yearn to find.  The bookmatched sides show a small amount of swirl. 

Over the years the -32C has become more sought after especially because of its full -bodied and yet very clear defined tone. The Sitka spruce top helps to balance the rosewood’s warm fullness. The O version is especially warm, full and clear, the F (Small Jumbo equivalent) is the same but with a more focused projection making it ideal for flat-picking and fingerstyle.

The OMC-16GTE acoustic-electric guitar boasts a venetian cutaway on the OM platform, a body style that presents strong lower midranges and versatile dynamics. Constructed with solid sapele back and sides and a Sitka spruce top finished in a polished gloss, the OMC-16GTE guitar's shape allows for great player comfort while its extra depth contributes presence, projection and power to the tone.
