Martin OM-35 Inception™

The OM-35 Inception™ unlocks the sonic beauty of sustainable tonewoods by combining responsibly sourced domestic materials with purpose-built innovation. A three-piece back of black walnut with a flamed American white oak delta-shaped wedge is paired with solid black walnut sides and an FSC®-certified European spruce top for a tone that balances clarity, warmth, and strong midrange presence. Skeletonized Golden Era scalloped X-bracing is engineered specifically for these tonewoods—reducing mass to enhance sustain and dynamic response while allowing the walnut’s tonal character to fully develop. Flamed American white oak binding on the body and fingerboard completes the design, highlighting a thoughtful approach to material selection. It’s a modern OM built to explore new sounds through sustainable choices and intentional, innovative design.
