Martin OM-28-GE

The Martin OM-28-GE gives every voice in your chord room to breathe

An acoustic guitar that impresses not only with its full sound, but also with what happens between the notes. The Martin OM-28-GE combines the familiar Orchestra Model size with solid woods and a neck that invites precise playing. For the guitarist who enjoys working with voicings, attack, and dynamics, this is an instrument to be explored in depth. The Natural finish and abalone fretboard inlays give it a classic look where the details do the work.

The solid spruce top, together with the solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, forms the foundation for a rich acoustic voice. You can carry a strong bassline without the higher melody notes losing their place. That makes the OM size interesting for fingerstyle, but also for accompaniments in which chords need to remain clear. If you play with a pick, you can explore the articulation and the interplay between the root note and overtones. From a subdued verse to a fuller chorus, this Martin offers room to add color with your right hand.

The neck is made of select hardwood and features the GE Modified Low Oval profile. The ebony fretboard has a 16-inch radius, 20 frets, and Abalone Diamonds & Squares Long Pattern inlays. The scale length is 25.4 inches, and the neck is attached to the body with a dovetail joint. Nickel Open Gear tuners match the traditional character. There is no built-in acoustic pickup: this version focuses on the unamplified sound and comes with a hard case for transport and storage.

Take your time with this OM-28-GE and let your own repertoire determine what it has to tell. Especially in familiar passages, you can hear how a different attack can reveal new nuances.
