1999 Martin OM28V

SOLD The Martin OM28V has become one of the more sought after Martin models since the V series has been discontinued. It’s widely considered to be the ultimate fingerstyle guitar, in tone, feel and playability. Based on the 1931 OM28, the Vintage series accurately reproduces the original with Sitka Spruce over Indian Rosewood. It’s scallop braced, with Herringbone trim, there’s an Ebony fingerboard and bridge, plus bone nut and saddle, and Waverley tuners. The tone is articulate, with great projection, and even balance across the bandwidth. A very versatile guitar, it comes into its own with fingerstyle, flat picking and soloing. The neck has a very comfortable soft V profile, and easy playability. There’s a transducer pickup fitted, and the guitar comes in its original deluxe hard case.
