Solid materials and craftsmanship dressed down to simple elegance.
Historically, Martin's 21 styling has represented the simplest appointment level with rosewood back
and sides and a spruce top. Introduced in 2007, Martin's OM-21 Special closely replicates this plain but beautiful style by
blending rosewood bindings, a herringbone rosette, a nitrate tortoise pickguard and an ebony fingerboard and pyramid bridge.
The D-21 Special Guitar shares identical appointments with the OM-21 Special, but in a dreadnought format. The resulting instrument
offers Martin's legacy tone with classic style.
