Model OM
Spohn's take on the classic midsized Martin OM shape, built to order for balanced, responsive fingerstyle playing across the whole fretboard.
About this guitar
The Model OM is Max Spohn’s interpretation of the classic Martin OM shape, sized for versatile fingerstyle work with a responsive, evenly balanced voice from bass to treble. Like all Spohn models it’s hand-built to order in Germany, with a base price covering a spruce top, a choice of mahogany, wenge, or East Indian rosewood back and sides, and a full custom tonewood/hardware menu.
