Martin OM-21

Today we wanted to create a demo of the beautiful Martin OM-21 acoustic guitar. This may be the perfect guitar (for Ed at least) with excellent balance, suitable for singer-style and strummed, solo or group performances. Let us know what you think of this iconic guitar in the comments! TRIGGER WARNING Despite a strict ban, Ed 'accidentally' played a bit of Wonderwall. We apologise. As always, the aim of the recording setup has been to capture the natural sound of the instrument; the sound from good quality speakers or headphones should be an accurate representation of the acoustic sound in the room. No processing is added to the recording.
