Overview

A left-handed orchestra guitar with balanced tone and sleek playability.

Warmth, balance, and tradition come together the moment you pick up the Martin OM-28 standard orchestra model left-handed acoustic guitar, a beautifully voiced instrument that feels rooted in decades of craftsmanship. Built with a solid spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides, it delivers a clear, articulate tone with rich overtones and remarkable dynamic response, perfectly suited for players who move between detailed fingerstyle passages and expressive strumming. The 000-14 fret body offers inviting comfort, while the hand-fit dovetail neck joint and high-performance taper neck create a smooth, responsive playing experience across the ebony fingerboard. Scalloped Golden Era X-bracing enhances sustain and projection, giving every note room to breathe and resonate. Made for discerning left-handed musicians, the OM-28 captures the essence of Martin’s legacy in an instrument built to inspire for a lifetime.

Golden Era X-Bracing Shapes Dynamic Tone

The Martin OM-28 features 1/4" scalloped Golden Era X-bracing that optimizes the top's resonance and projection. This advanced bracing allows the solid spruce top to produce a balanced tone with punchy lows, rich mids, and shimmering highs. Whether you're fingerpicking or strumming, the bracing ensures clarity and depth, making the guitar versatile for a wide range of musical expressions.

Comfortable Neck Taper for Seamless Playability

The high-performance neck taper on the OM-28 delivers a sleek, effortless playing experience. Its GE modified low oval neck shape sits comfortably in your hand, offering smooth access across the ebony fingerboard. The 1-3/4" nut width and 25.4" scale length accommodate complex chord shapes and intricate techniques, ensuring precision and comfort during long practice sessions or performances.

Superior Attention to Detail in Construction

Crafted with precision, the Martin OM-28 showcases a dovetail neck joint that maximizes tonal transfer for superior sustain. The antique white binding, herringbone inlays, and faux tortoise pickguard add vintage charm to its natural finish. The Plek'd setup ensures precise action and optimal string performance straight from the hardshell case, enhancing the guitar's overall playability and tone.

Premium Tonewoods for Superior Sound

The combination of a solid spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides gives the OM-28 its vibrant tonal character. These tonewoods create a harmonious blend of warmth, clarity, and dynamic projection. The gloss finish not only enhances the guitar's visual appeal but also protects its wood, ensuring durability and consistency over time.
