Martin Custom Shop Willcutt Exclusive OM 41 Style Bearclaw Sitka Spruce/Guatemalan Rosewood (296)

A Martin Custom Shop Willcutt Exclusive OM 41 Style that pairs a premium Bearclaw Sitka spruce top with stunning Guatemalan rosewood back and sides, creating an instrument that is as visually striking as it is tonally impressive. Built on Martin's revered Orchestra Model platform, this Custom Shop creation delivers exceptional balance, articulation, and responsiveness while incorporating elegant Style 41 appointments and premium tonewoods throughout. The bearclaw figuring in the Sitka spruce top ensures that each guitar is uniquely beautiful, while the Guatemalan rosewood provides rich overtones, powerful bass response, and exceptional note separation.

Golden Era scalloped 1/4" bracing gives the guitar a lively, open voice with remarkable dynamic range, making it equally suited for fingerstyle, flatpicking, and studio work. The combination of a GE Modified Low Oval neck profile and High Performance Taper offers outstanding comfort and playability, while the Style 45-inspired abalone appointments elevate the visual presentation without overwhelming the instrument's classic Martin aesthetic. Finished with an aging toner top, gloss body, satin neck, and polished headplate, this Willcutt Exclusive represents the finest traditions of Martin Custom Shop craftsmanship.
