Martin OM-28E Modern Deluxe - Natural Reviews
The Martin OM-28E Modern Deluxe combines old-world Martin styling with modern advances to create a vintage guitar for today's player. The guitar's sweet, warm tone comes from an all-solid tonewood combination of a spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides. The compact Orchestra Model (OM) body style delivers powerful, articulate tones that sit well in any mix. The ebony fingerboard received a factory Plek treatment to ensure that your new axe plays perfectly right out of the case. The OM-28E Modern Deluxe has all the touches you'd expect to see on a traditionally-styled Martin, including, herringbone purfling, flamed maple binding, inlaid rosette, and genuine abalone inlays. Simply put, this guitar's understated elegance is perfectly complemented by its classic Martin tone.

Martin OM 28 Deluxe
I own 6 Martins. The King is my HD 28. But this OM is the real deal great tones, both bass and high notes. Resonates, easy to play. Action is great. Neck is easy on your wrist. Recorded with it just last night in my studio in our garage. Used my little shore Mike hook up to my phone. Have Mike hanging to puck up sounds, both voice and guitar. Plugged into a Fender amp. Sounded great. Guitar not plugged in. This guitar is outstanding. And the appointments are beautiful. Not only great to play. But it is fun just to open the caes and look at it. Great buy.
Honest opinion after a year of ownership
I've owned a 000-28 for about 15 years. I really like the auditorium size of the body and sound of it but the neck was a bit too narrow for me. Most of my other guitars have a wider neck and a V-shaped profile. Also it lacks a pickup. I had a chance to spend some time a few years ago with an OM-42 at a guitar show and really liked the feel of the wider neck. When the modern deluxe series was released it ticked all the boxes for me: Auditorium body, OM neck size and profile, vintage sound, and a pickup system that sounds like a properly miked acoustic guitar (NOT a rubber band). Sold. I'm in love with the sound of this guitar; so pure. And the pickup system is just brilliant. But (you know there was one...) the frets/neck are WRONG. If seems like the frets are too high for the neck profile. This guitar actually hurts my left hand if I play it for a long period of time. Perhaps a bit more radius on the fretboard? I can play my 000-28 for hours without any fatigue. Would I sell this instrument and buy something else? No. But, I can envision my perfect acoustic guitar with the playablity of a Taylor and the sound of a Martin. Perhaps one already exists? I'd also like to thank the always professional Sweetwater staff and Tyler in particular for assisting me with this purchase.
Good Workmanship, bad electronics.
No way to replicate your live sound because you have no way to know what your volume or balance is because they put the controls in the sound hole; "smacks forehead." I wasted money paying for these electronics.
