Built with a solid spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides, it delivers a clear, articulate tone with rich overtones and remarkable dynamic response, perfectly suited for players who move between detailed fingerstyle passages and expressive strumming.

Golden Era X-Bracing Shapes Dynamic Tone
The Martin OM-28 features 1/4" scalloped Golden Era X-bracing that optimizes the top's resonance and projection.

Whether you're fingerpicking or strumming, the bracing ensures clarity and depth, making the guitar versatile for a wide range of musical expressions.
Comfortable Neck Taper for Seamless Playability

Its GE modified low oval neck shape sits comfortably in your hand, offering smooth access across the ebony fingerboard. The 1-3/4" nut width and 25.4" scale length accommodate complex chord shapes and intricate techniques, ensuring precision and comfort during long practice sessions or performances.
Superior Attention to Detail in Construction
Crafted with precision, the Martin OM-28 showcases a dovetail neck joint that maximizes tonal transfer for superior sustain. The antique white binding, herringbone inlays, and faux tortoise pickguard add vintage charm to its natural finish. The Plek'd setup ensures precise action and optimal string performance straight from the hardshell case, enhancing the guitar's overall playability and tone.
Premium Tonewoods for Superior Sound
The combination of a solid spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides gives the OM-28 its vibrant tonal character. These tonewoods create a harmonious blend of warmth, clarity, and dynamic projection. The gloss finish not only enhances the guitar's visual appeal but also protects its wood, ensuring durability and consistency over time.
