The Martin OMCPA4 Orchestra Acoustic-Electric Guitar is constructed with solid tonewoods. The back and sides are matched from African sapele, similar in appearance and tone to mahogany. Bookmatched Sitka spruce soundboards utilize Martin's Hybrid "A-Frame" scalloped bracing.
The OMCPA4 features a slim, more parallel taper at the 12th fret, allowing for a more comfortable playing width up the neck. The bridge spacing is also modified to 2 3/16" – splitting the difference between Martin's two traditional spacings.
Along with the look, feel, and enhanced performance of Martin's existing Performing Artist Series models, the OMCPA4 also has the new, simplified Fishman F1 Analog electronics system.

A breathtaking sound. This guitar sounds better and better every day. I purchased this guitar about a month ago. I exchanged a custom Taylor that a purchased for this guitar. This Martin OMCPA4 sounds better than the Taylor, BY FAR!! Not that the Taylor didn't sound good, but this guitar just has so much more character, and is easier on the ears, especially when recording. Now I have to say Taylor does win in the aesthetics department. But when it comes down to it, Martin wins in sound! If you are seriously interested in buying a good acoustic guitar, listen to recordings of artist who play and record with Martin, and artist who play and record with Taylor, Gibson, etc... Then choose what sound you like better. I highly recommend this guitar. At a professional level, this is one of the best guitars I have ever owned with a great price tag.
Pay attention to the coupons and sales events you received from Guitar Center. The Friday the 13th sale from Guitar Center had me go in and find this gem at an unbeatable price. I was between this one and the regular CPA4, and this little masterpiece absolutely took the cake. The size and shape make this the most comfortable acoustic in my entire arsenal; the perfect tone, the solid wood, the Martin build and polish, and an action that has Les Paul-level forgiveness out of the box make it the most valuable.
Most importantly, and this is not a small point, the Fishman Analog F1 does exactly what I want it to do: stay out of my way until I need some very minor adjustments. When compared with the "Aura" and others, you've got to ask yourself whether you want a guitar or you want GarageBand inside your guitar. The analog lasts 180 hours (an eternity) compared with 11 hours on other systems, and truly, if you want all the effects of the $2,500 Martin, your absolute best bet is one of TC Electronics' "Hall of Fame" reverb pedals (also at Guitar Center, thankfully).
This is the lightest, loudest (for its size and even compared with the aforementioned Martin), best-made, and most comfortable instrument in its class. No guitar is a Swiss Army knife, but this masterpiece comes close to making you wish to use it for absolutely everything. You will appreciate this purchase more than any other.

Crispy and sweet sound. Very balanced and pleasant.
I started learning guitar last year. My main purpose is to play chords while leading worship with hymns in church. Thank goodness that I made a quick progress! Initially I bought an entry level Yamaha and quickly moved on to a Taylor 114CE. In one occasion, Guitar Center offered an exchange program so I brought my Yamaha for exchange. I initially wanted to buy a Taylor 2- or 3-series since I had getting used to Taylor sound. But then this Martin at the similar price level caught my attention. I bought it just out of my curiosity for a different brand of guitar. I am so happy that I made a right choice!
Taylor vs. Martin, in a short word, is the style between California vs. Pennsylvania. Taylor sounds crispier at higher tunes and more bass at lower tunes. But Martin blends a nicer balance together. I totally agree with another reviewer saying that Martin sounds better while playing chords, because it harmoniously blends them. Taylor sounds more like wild wild west, while Martin is an elegant classical northeastern. In my opinion, there is no better or worse here. It really all depends on your personal taste.
But one thing that Martin is definitely superior than Taylor is its electric board. At this similar price range, Taylor sounds more electricity, while Martin generates more natural sound from the speakers.
Give it a try. You will not disappointed. This is an entry-to-mid level guitar hard to beat.
