What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Solid Sitka spruce top Projects rich, crisp and responsive tone
East Indian rosewood back and sides Rich low end; smooth mids; articulate highs
Black ebony fretboard Smooth and fast playing, bright tone
Scalloped X bracing Top vibrates freely; remains stable

Carrying a distinct vintage-inspired design and updated like the D-18 a few years ago, the Martin OM-28 offers many of the features found in the pre-WWII era guitars. The OM-28 is constructed with all the features of the OM-28E Retro without the electronics package. Aging toner and a polished gloss finish are applied to the Sitka spruce top which features 1/4" X-scalloped bracing. The polished gloss East Indian rosewood body is edged with ivoroid binding. Like the 000-18, the model's neck features a modified low oval profile with performing artist taper with a width of 1-3/4" at the nut and 2-3/16" string spacing for easy playability. Nickel open-geared tuners with butterbean knobs are found with a rosewood headplate, which displays a large old-style Martin logo.
