Description
A Martin OM-28 Standard is an all-time classic with its combination of a 000-size body, long scale, and relatively wide neck and string-spacing gives it a distinctive feel and tonality. Hard to put down!
The Martin OM-28 Standard is prized for its versatility, and has won fans among players of many styles. Its combination of a 000-size body, long scale, and the 1 3/4″ wide neck and string-spacing gives it a distinctive feel and tonality. With her scalloped bracing, she brings your sound to life—fingerpicking, strumming or soloing. Bold herringbone, authentic East Indian Rosewood, Ebony, Sitka spruce, and vintage appointments give her a classic look and timeless sound. Compared to the later Reimagined-Series, the features that have an effect on tone did not change. One could argue that the pre-2018 looks more vintage correct.
This fine Martin OM-28 comes with standard X-bracing and Martin’s renowned Modified Low Oval neck with PA Taper. The PA taper is less narrow taper all the way through the 12th fret compared to the standard taper. Feels easier to play up the scale. But that’s personal. From a tonal point of view, it makes no difference. The OM has the longer 645 mm scale length compared to the 000 making the tone is a little tighter, louder and more brilliant. That is why guitarists like Eric Clapton and John Mayer love this model! From a technical point of view, she is in excellent condition. Little fret wear, low action. The back binding was repaired well, leaving only a slight gap on the upper end of the binding. Check the pictures. Her former owner upgrade the bridge pins, end pin and strap pin to Genuine Bone. She has been well cared for and shows only minor wear and scratches, thus her condition is very good.
