Metal meets Martin with the OM Mikael Åkerfeldt—a limited-edition acoustic shaped by one of progressive metal’s most creative minds. Built in collaboration with the Opeth frontman, this model pairs vintage warmth with bold, modern edge. A torrefied spruce top and Guatemalan rosewood back deliver stunning resonance and depth, while the first-ever Low Profile Velocity neck on a traditional Martin offers electric-guitar speed and comfort. Elegant yet shadowy details like Roman numeral inlays, black Liquidmetal® bridge pins, and European flamed maple binding make it unmistakably Mikael. Limited to just 74 guitars, it’s a singular creation that’s as inspiring as its namesake.

We will be receiving the only guitar from this run allocated to Australia.
