2019 Martin Custom Shop OM-28

With its upgraded ‘Bearclaw’ Sitka spruce top, lightened ¼” scalloped top bracing, long saddle bridge, and grained ivoroid bindings, this Custom Shop Martin OM-28 packs a number of features that deviate from the standard specs for this very popular model. What’s likely not immediately obvious is that this guitar also features a modified V neck with a 1-11/16” nut width, which offers something truly unique for those of you who want a long scale OM-28 with a neck that feels much more like that of a 000-28 Clapton.

It’s a great looking guitar that offers a warmer, more open, and darker voice than a standard OM-28 and a neck feel that’s much more akin to a 1940s vintage Martin than a modern standard series model with a 1-3/4” low oval neck carve.

In excellent condition with minimal playwear and a perfect set-up, this Custom Shop OM-28 plays delightfully well. The neck carve is remarkably comfortable, with a first fret thickness of .870” and modern 2-1/8” string spread at the saddle. We have the guitar set up with 12-53 strings and an action of 5-6/64ths.

With original hardshell case.
