Mis-Marked Martin
I have a Martin OMC160GTE that I bought new at a music store in Tulsa several years back. I decided to upgrade to a D-28 and found that my 160GTE is actually a OMC 16 GTE with a OMC-160GTE label inside. Has anyone come across this issue before?

I did a quick search and the extra 0 (or O?) seems to refer to a variant that had Roland digital modelling preamp in the electronics.
Is yours regular Fishman?

I once had a Taylor 514C that had a 514CE label in it.
A rare Taylor to not have electronics. I guess the proper label is even more rare.

The O in the model number is a letter O to represent Ivankal used on the back and sides with rosewood in the middle as these models came with 3-peice backs.

Saw a guy playing in a trio of strings at the Sunday farmers market. He was playing a ten-year-old Gibson Songwriter Deluxe with the cutaway and electronics. A lot of nice abalone inlay work in the fretboard, blingy look in the rosette and the top binding. Spruce top finished with a little aging, rosewood sides and back.
He called it his Miss Gibson. I thought that's what this thread was about, blingy decor.

Did it sound any different when the truth was revealed? Life is complicated, but it shouldn't have to be this complicated. |

I had to read the OP's post a couple of times to see the title should have read
Mis-marked Martin. |

Glad to see you changed the title so it reads properly.

OMC-160GTE or OMC-16OGTE label?
If it's a capital O, then that is the label for an Ovankol guitar. Nice guitars, 3-piece back with contrasting rosewood wedge. Which would be clearly, 100% wrong. If it's a 0 (zero), then I do believe that was a designation for a Roland amp instead of a Fishman.

I once bought a Martin HD16R-LSH from an online dealer. (nice guitar, btw) When it arrived, the inner box had an official Martin factory label that said "O-42 Robbie Robertson Proto". I was thinking, "oh boy, oh boy, oh boy - I'm gonna have a lot of fun playing this thing before I return it..." But as it turns out, the dealer was just recycling the carton - inside was the guitar I had paid for. I did, however, cut that label off and keep it.
