The Story
The Martin Custom Shop North Street Edition OM-18 blends the classic Style-18 recipe with centuries-old Sinker Mahogany for the back and sides. Sinker Mahogany logs from Belize riverbeds have aged over centuries, creating a unique tonewood. Its darker and denser tone makes it the closest modern equivalent to the old growth Mahogany of the "Golden Era" Style-18 models. Combined with an easy-playing modified low oval neck and dynamic Adirondack Spruce top with hand-scalloped X-bracing, this guitar offers the essence of a Golden Era Style-18 with modern playability.
