A treasured classic brought back to life.
The Martin OM28-V Vintage Reissue Acoustic Guitar has a silky sweet tone produced by a solid Sitka spruce top combined with narrow-waisted comfort and sumptuous appointments. Solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, bold herringbone top inlay, grained ivoroid binding and heel cap, HD zigzag back purfling, and a black ebony fretboard mark this one as a true luxury instrument. Traditional scalloped 1/4" bracing, solid mahogany neck, modified V neck shape, traditional open-geared Gotoh nickel tuners with butterbean knobs, and a Corian nut make the guitar authentic and ready for years of serious use.

Comments about Martin OM28-V Vintage Reissue Acoustic Guitar:
I have owned it for 13 years (1999). It has become much more rich and tonally mellow and sonorous over the last six years. I also own a Froggy Bottom H model, but prefer the Martin OM 28VR to all others. Picked up a new one off a rack yesterday to hear the sound. It is not even half what mine sounds like 13 years old.
Comments about Martin OM28-V Vintage Reissue Acoustic Guitar:
I own a 2001 model that I bought used a few months ago - but you'd never know looking at it that it had ever been played. It's simply beautiful, and the quality is everything one would expect from Martin. I chose this guitar specifically for playing fingerstyle; it has the widest string spacing at the saddle of any production Martin, at 2 5/16", and a 1 3/4" nut width, which to me is perfect for fingerpicking.
In my opinion this guitar was made to be played fingerstyle; I play with fingers only (no nails, no picks), and its tone is incredible. For anyone looking for a fingerstyle guitar, this is as good as it gets! It sounds good flatpicked or strummed, but there are better guitars for those styles, I believe.
One note about the description provided on the Musician's Friend web site - part of it is out of date. It lists this guitar as having a Corian nut and Micarta saddle, but for the past 2-3 years this model has shipped from the factory with bone in both cases (see the Martin web site).
Comments about Martin OM28-V Vintage Reissue Acoustic Guitar:
I already own a D41 and was looking for a smaller body acoustic. I was sick of looking at all that pearl and was craving something simple with a nice inlay pattern on the neck. This is probably one of the best guitars I have ever had the privilege to play. If you have the cash on hand... buy it.
Comments about Martin OM28-V Vintage Reissue Acoustic Guitar:
Went on a buying spree to get the best acoustic I could find. Bought maybe 10 different ones over the last 12 yrs...this was the best one, best sound, best tone ( so sweet and bassy) no guitar satisfied as this one did...played everything. The G.A.S. has been cured.
Comments about Martin OM28-V Vintage Reissue Acoustic Guitar:
I've had this guitar for 3 years now and it keeps getting better. I went looking for another guitar to add to my collection(Santa Cruz, Collings etc.)and as beautiful as they all were, they still didn't compare to my Martin and they were $1,000+more. I came home and I really can appreciate this guitar even more. It is wonderful for all styles of playing. Everybody has their own taste in what they like to hear, look at and hold. I just happen to like everything about my Martin.
Comments about Martin OM28-V Vintage Reissue Acoustic Guitar:
Very good guitar . Resonance , Harmonics ... Power. I own another piece of art , my beloved Santa Cruz OM standard. I like the difference between the two. Martin OM28V it's a pre war sound while Santa Cruz Om it's modern. Two powerfull outstanding guitars. Be carefull : if you have to amplifie the SC it's simple because of the simple modern bracing. With OM28V you have to make the right choice and keep attention to the bridge space.
Comments about Martin OM28-V Vintage Reissue Acoustic Guitar:
After playing Gibsons for the past 20 years I was looking for a new fingerstyle guitar and thought I was going to buy another Gibson. That is, until I played the Martin OM28V. The tone, balance, and playability of this guitar are fantastic. And it's beautiful. I love it. For an Orchestra Model it has a great big voice. I haven't been able to put it down since I brought it home. It was a bit more than I intended to spend, but worth every penny. If you play fingerstyle this is a great guitar for you.
Comments about Martin OM28-V Vintage Reissue Acoustic Guitar:
I own a number of guitars, including other Martins and a custom 12 string, this is the best one of the bunch. It feels good. It sounds very good. It plays very well and seems to form-fit to my hand. This is the guitar I enjoy playing the most.
Comments about Martin OM28-V Vintage Reissue Acoustic Guitar:
I expect to die owning this one (but hopefully not any time soon!). It is a beautiful sounding and looking guitar. The size is very manageable, and the v-shaped neck is very comfortable to play. The sound quality is sweet, and the volume is robust.
Comments about Martin OM28-V Vintage Reissue Acoustic Guitar:
I've owned one for 6 or 7 years and it is the most beautiful sounding guitar I have ever heard. The best feature is the versatility. It goes from flesh picking, natural nails, steel fingerpicks, to strumming and preforms above other guitars in all. I was amazed at the "mature" sound of the guitar when I bought it and it is even better today. Wood has opened up and sounds amazing. Playability and feel is supurb due to the deep V neck which is especialy nice for fingerstyle players. Good for all tunings. Rated 9 for quality because of some slight bridge separation but that is most likely due to extensive traveling and temp changes. This guitar may be difficult for some who like to play chords on the upper frets because of the added width of the fingerboard from nut to saddle. If you have the money purchase this guitar and never look back.
