Martin Custom Artist Series OMC-LJ

Martin Custom Artist Series OMC-LJ Pro Acoustic Guitar


Martin Custom Artist Series OMC-LJ Pro Acoustic Guitar


A 2-piece maple neck—like that on many archtop guitars—contributes to the Artist Series OMC-LJ guitar's generous sustain. Impressive tone and understated elegance have exemplified previous Laurence Juber guitars, and the OMC-LJ Pro continues in that tradition.

The traditional OM body boasts a graceful, rounded cutaway, and scalloped 1/4" Adirondack spruce top braces combined with the 25.4" OM scale to assure impressive resonance and dynamic range. The OMC-LJ Pro guitar's back and sides are accented by a Style-28 wood-fiber rosette and a fine herringbone top inlay.

The Artist Series OMC-LJ guitar's D-TAR Wave-Length electronics combine a thin, piezo under-saddle transducer with an 18v, low-noise, high-input impedance preamp to create a system with twice the dynamic range of typical 9v systems. The preamp is powered by 2-AA batteries. With 18 volts, your signal has more headroom, so hard strumming won't distort as easily. The preamp has an input for a second source, like a magnetic pickup or a soundboard transducer.

Two adjustable trim pots, one low-frequency shelving and one high-frequency shelving, allow you to fine-tune and set and forget the bass and treble frequencies to optimize the Wave-Length for your guitar; enabling you to transparently amplify the natural timbre of the Martin OMC-LJ acoustic guitar with minimal coloration.
