Martin OM-28E Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural

The Martin OM-28E Acoustic-Electric Guitar is a tribute to one of Martin’s most iconic 14-fret models, blending vintage charm with modern playability and superior electronics. Crafted from select East Indian rosewood and a high-grade spruce top, this Orchestra model delivers a full-bodied tone with bold bass, sparkling highs, and a well-balanced midrange. Whether you’re fingerpicking or strumming, the OM-28E offers a versatile sound that suits a wide range of musical styles, making it a cherished addition to any guitarist’s collection.

Timeless Design with Superior Tonewoods

The OM-28E features Martin’s celebrated Orchestra body style, renowned for its comfortable size and balanced tone. The solid East Indian rosewood back and sides provide a deep, resonant sound with rich overtones, while the solid spruce top adds clarity and warmth to every note. This combination of tonewoods ensures that the OM-28E produces a dynamic and expressive sound, whether you’re playing softly or digging in for a more powerful performance. The black ebony fingerboard and matching bridge not only enhance the guitar’s tonal characteristics but also add a touch of elegance to its appearance.

Modern Playability with Vintage Aesthetics

Martin has equipped the OM-28E with a Modified Low Oval neck profile and a High Performance Taper, making it easier to play for extended periods. This neck design is perfect for technical players who require precision, as well as for strummers who seek comfort throughout a long set. The 25.4" scale length and 1.75" nut width offer the right balance of string tension and spacing, allowing for smooth playability across the fretboard. Vintage-inspired features such as butterbean knobs, an aged toner finish, and antique white binding complete the guitar’s classic look.

Advanced LR Baggs Electronics

The OM-28E is equipped with LR Baggs Anthem electronics, a state-of-the-art pickup system that accurately captures the guitar’s natural acoustic tone when amplified. The Anthem system uses Tru Mic technology, which combines a microphone and under-saddle pickup to deliver a clear, full-range sound. Volume, Mix, and Phase controls are conveniently located inside the soundhole, allowing you to easily adjust your tone on the fly. Whether you’re performing live or recording in the studio, the OM-28E’s electronics ensure that your sound is always pure and dynamic.

Unmatched Martin Craftsmanship

Built with Martin’s legendary attention to detail, the OM-28E features a glued dovetail neck joint that enhances tonal transfer between the body and neck, providing greater stability and resonance as the guitar ages. The scalloped X-bracing inside the body enhances the guitar’s responsiveness, adding punch and balance to its tone. With its premium materials, refined design, and impeccable craftsmanship, the OM-28E is a guitar that will inspire you every time you pick it up.
