Music

All aboard! Martin and Pennsylvania-based watchmaker RGM have teamed up once again to create something truly unique—the OM 20th Century Limited. Celebrating technology and innovation, this limited-edition handcrafted work of art pays tribute to the Art Deco-inspired passenger train of the same name that revolutionized travel in the mid-1930s—around the time that would become known as Martin’s “Golden Era,” when the company’s instruments began to revolutionize music. This guitar is full of intricate design elements, including custom streamliner-inspired inlay throughout, European flamed maple binding, gold open back tuning machines, and an inlaid ebony pickguard. The OM 20th Century Limited also features hide glue construction, a spruce VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) top, and Guatemalan rosewood back and sides for superior tone. The guitar even comes with a custom, handcrafted railroad-inspired watch from acclaimed watchmaker RGM. Only 20 of these elegant OM 20th Century Limited guitars will be built.Other specifications include:Body Size: 000-14 FretFinish Top: GlossConstruction: Dovetail Neck Joint - Hide Glue ConstructionBack and Side Finish: GlossBracing Pattern: X-BraceScale Length: 25.4"Brace Shape: ScallopedFingerboard Width at Nut: 1 3/4''Top Material: Sitka Spruce with VTSNeck Shape: Vintage DeluxeBack Material: Guatemalan RosewoodNeck Taper: Standard TaperSide Material: Guatemalan RosewoodElectronics: NoTop Color: ClearBridge Style: Modern Pyramid - Drop in SaddleBinding: European Flamed MapleBridge String Spacing: 2 1/4''Top Inlay Material: Multi-StripeBridge Material: EbonyTop Detail: Custom DesignBridge Pin Material: Liquidmetal®Pickguard: Ebony Inlaid into TopBridge Pin Dots: AbalonePickguard Inlay: Custom InlaySaddle: Compensated BoneRosette: Custom InlaySaddle Radius: 16"Brace Material: Adirondack Spruce with VTSBack and Sides Color: NoneBrace Size: 1/4"Back Detail: Custom InlayBack Purfling/Strip: CustomBack Inlay Material: Multi-StripeHeelcap: European Flamed MapleSide Detail: NoneEndpiece: European Flamed MapleSide Inlay Material: NoneEndpiece Inlay: Multi-StripeNeck Material: Genuine MahoganyFingerboard Material: EbonyFinish Neck: SatinFingerboard Width at 12th Fret: 2 1/4''Neck Color: Dark MahoganyFingerboard Inlay Style: Custom InlayNumber of Frets Total: 20Fingerboard Inlay Material: Mother of PearlNeck Joins Body At: 14th FretFingerboard Binding Material: NoneSide Dots: AbaloneHeadstock Shape: Solid with Square Taper and DiamondTuning Machines: Waverly Gold Open BackHeadplate Material: EbonyKnob: ButterbeanHeadplate Logo Style: Custom InlayNut Material: BoneHeadplate Binding Material: NoneCase: HardshellLabel: Embossed Paper Label, Numbered in Sequence w/Total; 1 of 20, 2 of 20, etc.Pleked: true4 lbs 1 oz2871709For more information about the Martin 20th Century Limited, please contact us.
