Classic Orchestral Design with Rich, Balanced Tone – The Martin OM-28 Acoustic Guitar
Born for jazz clubs and blues haunts, it’s that versatile sound you can’t put down.
Compact and commanding, scalloped bracing brings your sound to life-fingerpicking, strumming or soloing. Perfect balance across all six strings, bold herringbone, East Indian rosewood, ebony, Sitka spruce, and vintage appointments give a classic look to a timeless sound.
