Sadek Music: the Martin OM-28 is a legendary instrument that blends timeless tone with modern refinement. Its Auditorium body, solid Sitka spruce top, and East Indian rosewood back and sides deliver a rich, balanced sound across all frequencies—perfect for fingerstyle, flatpicking, or strumming. The 25.4" scale length provides added projection and brightness, while the satin GE Modified Low Oval neck with high-performance taper ensures smooth, effortless playability. Part of Martin’s updated 2025 Standard Series, the OM-28 now features Sitka spruce Golden Era bracing, enhancing resonance and sustain with a vintage flavor. Herringbone purfling, antique white binding, an ebony bridge with bone pins, and a gloss finish give this instrument the classic Martin look. Complete with a protective hardshell case, the OM-28 is a trusted companion for serious players and professionals alike.
