Classic 14-fret Orchestra with Updated Neck Profile

The OM-28 acoustic guitar honors one of Martin's most celebrated 14-fret models. Built from Martin's precious supply of East Indian rosewood and married to an extraordinary spruce top, the Martin OM-28's comfortably reduced Orchestra body packs plenty of body, bold bass, and clear, sparkling highs — all balanced to perfection. A black ebony fingerboard and matching bridge complete the picture. This latest OM-28 features Martin's High Performance Taper neck profile for greater comfort and precision, as well as an aged-toner finish and butterbean knobs for an heirloom look. Even for the established collector, there is always room in a collection for the Martin OM-28 acoustic guitar from Sweetwater.

Martin's celebrated Orchestra body style

There's no question that Martin's original Orchestra model has been one of the most influential acoustic guitar styles in modern music history. From its bold herringbone inlays to its hand-selected bone nut and saddle, the Martin OM-28 does more than merely capture the spirit of the original. When you pick up the Martin OM-28, it's like stepping back in guitar history.

Timeless tone from spruce-topped rosewood

You just can't beat the sound of solid spruce and solid genuine rosewood. For such an affordable guitar, the Martin OM-28 spares no expense on its tonewoods. You'll love the crisp sound of the OM-28's solid East-Indian rosewood back and sides, and they look fantastic. What's more, the Martin OM-28 is topped with solid spruce, adding rich and mellow overtones. Take it from the Sweetwater crew — the Martin OM-28 delivers the tone and playability you want in an acoustic guitar!

Slimmer, easier-playing neck

Martin's Modified Low Oval mahogany neck with High Performance Taper delivers a new level of performance in the latest OM-28 acoustic guitar. Technical players will enjoy greater speed and accuracy, while strummers will enjoy greater comfort as the night rolls along.

Matchless Martin craftsmanship

The Martin OM-28's glued dovetail neck joint maximizes tonal transfer between the body and neck and promises greater stability as the guitar ages. The benefits here are evident the first time you hold the Martin OM-28 in your hands. Chords ring out rich and true, and melodies take on a sweet, woody sound. Meanwhile, Martin's scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance in the 28's lower bout, adding punch and balance to the comfortable Orchestra shape.

Martin OM-28 Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Classic 14-fret Orchestra design with an updated neck profile
  • Heirloom appointments included butterbean knobs and an aged-toner finish
  • Built from a choice selection of tonewoods: an East Indian rosewood back and sides, a spruce top, a black ebony fingerboard, and a matching black ebony bridge
  • Comfortable, fast-playing Modified Low Oval neck profile with High Performance Taper

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Amazing personalized assistance - The usual spectacular Martin quality

I was hesitant to buy a high-end acoustic guitar without seeing and playing it in-person, and in the Winter and through the
mail". My assigned Sales rep, James Masterson provided all kinds of assistance that helped me get over all of my concerns.

The result is that I now have an amazing guitar that arrived in perfect condition and setup as I requested and also with my fav strings. So all around an excellent experience!

Thanks much James and the SW fulfillment team.

Perfect.

This is my first non-dreadnought acoustic, and I am amazed at how wonderful it sounds. It is perfect for fingerpicking, strumming, and is surprisingly loud for a smaller bodied guitar. The craftsmanship is spot on, and the wood they chose is beautiful. It makes a great companion for my D18! As for Sweetwater, they have an amazing sales crew that will help you out when you need it. Thanks for the help, Ben!

Magic

This guitar is the best thing I’ve ever bought. Affordable in the description? Um, ok....no... But I came in not even really wanting to spend half what I paid and put it on like of credit a month later after I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Literally got a bit misty playing it, there is something about it. Writing this 6 months later because I couldn’t imagine not buying it. I have 3 kids now.
