Description:
The 2018 OM-28 Orchestra Acoustic Guitar is a great example of the quality craftmanship that Martin is famous for creating over their 185-year history. Prized for its combination of the finest tonewoods and construction techniques, the 2018 OM-28 has all the tone and sustain that you have come to expect from a Martin guitar. The smaller auditorium body is well-balanced, while being versatile enough to cover just about any musical style. The hand-fit dovetail neck joint delivers a resonant tone with lots of sustain. A Sitka spruce top, with 1/4” scalloped X-bracing, tunes the sound of the guitar to have just the right amount of bass, mids, and treble. This is an instrument that you’ll want to play for hours.
Martin has upgraded the 2018 OM-28 Orchestra to include a modified low-oval neck with High Performance neck taper and 1-3/4” nut. It also has an aging toner, herringbone inlay, antique white binding, 5/16” scalloped X-Bracing, Diamonds and Square fingerboard inlays, and a bone nut and saddle. In final assembly, the instrument receives a computerized Plek setup to dial in the action for the best possible string performance for each instrument. The result is an instrument with the optimal sound and feel. You won’t want to put this one down.
