The OM-28 is the Orchestra Model: same body size as the 000-28 but with a full 25.4" scale, the configuration Martin landed on in 1929 for fingerstyle players who wanted dreadnought-level projection in a smaller body. Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Paul Simon, Eric Johnson, Andy McKee, and Tommy Emmanuel all built signature work around OMs. Sitka spruce top over East Indian rosewood back and sides, select hardwood neck with the GE Modified Low Oval profile, ebony fingerboard and bridge, 1 3/4" bone nut, 25.4" scale, GE-scalloped X-bracing, bold herringbone top inlay.
The longer scale length pulls extra tension into the strings, giving the OM-28 more headroom under hard picking than a 000-28 and clearer note separation when fingerpicking complex passages. Same rosewood-and-spruce shimmer as the D-28 in a smaller, more comfortable body — the guitar players reach for when the dreadnought feels like too much.
Natural with aging toner. New from Martin. Comes with the molded hardshell case.
