2012 Martin Custom Shop OMC-Aura — Style 45 Appointments — Limited Run (1 of 100)
This is a 2012 Martin Custom Shop OMC-Aura, built as part of a limited production run of just 100 instruments. It features full Style 45 abalone appointments, premium tonewoods, and factory Fishman F1 Aura Plus electronics — combining boutique-level aesthetics with professional stage performance.
This is not a standard production OMC-Aura.
It is a high-spec Custom Shop build that sits well above catalog equivalents.
What Sets This Guitar Apart
• Limited Run — 1 of 100 (number 97)
• Custom Shop build from Nazareth, PA
• Style 45 abalone rosette and top trim
• Ebony fingerboard with hexagon outline pearl inlays
• Ebony bridge with pearl inlays
• Gold Gotoh tuners with ebony buttons
• Fishman F1 Aura Plus system (mic imaging + tuner)
• 1 3/4" nut / 25.4" scale
• Gloss body / satin neck
This model was produced with upscale trim and materials typically reserved for significantly higher-tier Martins.
Tone & Feel
The Sitka spruce / East Indian rosewood pairing delivers the classic Martin voice:
• Strong piano-like low end
• Clear, articulate highs
• Rich overtone content
• Excellent note separation
The OM/000 body provides exceptional balance and comfort, making it ideal for fingerstyle, flatpicking, and live performance.
The Aura system offers studio-mic imaging and remains one of Martin’s best factory-installed live systems from this era.
Condition
Excellent overall condition.
• No structural issues
• Clean top and back
• Frets and neck present very well
• Hardware and abalone trim are clean and vibrant
Carefully owned and properly maintained.
Custom Shop OM/000 Martins with premium trim regularly trade in the mid-$4k to low-$5k range depending on condition and rarity. With its limited production, Style 45 appointments, and factory electronics, this model occupies a unique position between a traditional OM-45 aesthetic and a modern performance instrument.
These do not surface often.

Original Martin hard case.
Professionally packed and fully insured shipping.
