Martin Guitar Unveils Mikael Åkerfeldt OM Signature Guitar

Martin Guitar has launched the Mikael Åkerfeldt OM Signature guitar, a collaboration with the renowned musician. The guitar, available now, is limited to 74 units worldwide and priced at £/$6,999. It features a unique blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern design, reflecting Åkerfeldt's extensive experience with Martin acoustics.

The guitar boasts a VTS torrefied solid spruce top and scalloped Adirondack spruce bracing, providing a rich, resonant sound. Its Guatemalan rosewood back and sides, coupled with an ebony fingerboard adorned with roman numeral inlays, offer both aesthetic appeal and tonal warmth.

Subtle touches like herringbone purfling and flamed maple binding elevate the guitar's appearance. The Low Profile Velocity neck shape, a first for Martin's traditional builds, ensures speed and comfort for players. Åkerfeldt, who has played historic Martins like the 'haunted' D-18, believes his signature guitar surpasses even the museum pieces.

The Mikael Åkerfeldt OM Signature guitar is a testament to the artist's collaboration with Martin. With its unique features, limited production run, and high price point, it's poised to become a coveted addition to the collection of discerning guitar enthusiasts worldwide.
