Martin OM-28E

A Faithful Re-creation of a Classic Martin

The OM-28E Retro acoustic-electric guitar brings back one of Martin’s most acclaimed 14-fret models. An incredible re-creation of Martin’s classic Orchestra model, this beautiful instrument gives you the bold clarity of a real solid East Indian rosewood back and sides plus the exquisite tonal balance of a Sitka spruce top. Just take a close look at the rosewood back and sides on the OM-28E Retro, and you’ll know that instruments like this don’t come along every day. A black ebony fingerboard and matching bridge complete the picture.

There’s no question that Martin’s original Orchestra model has been one of the most influential acoustic guitar styles in modern music history. From its bold herringbone inlays to its hand-selected bone nut and saddle, the OM-28E Retro does more than merely capture the spirit of the original, it revives all the small details that make this instrument a work of art. When you pick up a Martin OM-28E Retro, it’s like stepping back into guitar history.
