Player’s Perspective

The OM-28 is one of the most iconic models of acoustic guitars in music history, and this offering from Martin is one of the best versions of it they’ve put out yet. Classic yet contemporary, this acoustic-electric model brings a legend to contemporary stages and studios. We’re proud to offer up the OM-28E, one of our favorite Martin instruments here at the shop!

When high-end tone woods, high-end construction, and high-end electronics all converge, this is what you end up with. Martin are arguably the best in the world at what they do, and this OM-28E being a production model is a prime example of that. The spruce top and rosewood back and sides is a tried-and-true tonal combination that will never get stale. You can strum hard or finger-pick and the resonance and dynamics of that top will work with you. The rosewood imparts a warm and lush tone, which pairs well with the focused of the OM body shape. For effortless gigging and recording, just plug in through the onboard electronics system, which is is one of the finest acoustic preamps on the market. It’s as simple as that!

A comfortable body shape, incredible build quality, and most importantly, legendary tone means you’ll never want to put this down. The streamlined OM is perfect for the professional, collector, or hobbyist that needs a little extra punch out of their acoustic guitar sound. This could very well be the last acoustic guitar you’ll ever need – and for many, it already is.
