The OM-28E 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, this OM-28E'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-28E 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. Onboard Fishman electronics deliver the natural tone of your instrument into an amp or sound system. Even for the established collector, there is always room in a collection for the Martin OM-28E acoustic-electric guitar from Music Experience.

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 OM-28E does more than merely capture the spirit of the original. When you pick up the Martin OM-28E, 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-28E spares no expense on its tonewoods. You'll love the crisp sound of the OM-28E's solid East-Indian rosewood back and sides, and they look fantastic. What's more, the OM-28E is topped with solid Sitka spruce, adding rich and mellow overtones. Take it from the Music Experience crew — the Martin OM-28E 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 OM28E. Technical players will enjoy greater speed and accuracy, while strummers will enjoy greater comfort as the night rolls along.

Onboard Fishman Aura VT Enhance electronics

Fishman is just as much a leader in acoustic amplification as Martin is in guitar craftsmanship. These two companies have placed the Aura VT Enhance electronics system in the OM-28E to give it a natural, expressive voice when performing live through an amp or PA system. Aura preamps have been favorites of players for years. The VT Enhance system raises the bar by using low-profile soundhole controls for the pickup's volume and tone. With Aura VT Enhance electronics, you can rest easy knowing that the natural look and sound of your OM-28E will come through loud and clear.

Matchless Martin craftsmanship

The OM-28E'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 OM-28E 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 28E's lower bout, adding punch and balance to the comfortable Orchestra shape.

What Martin Says...

Compact and commanding, scalloped bracing brings your sound to life—fingerpicking, strumming or soloing. Perfect balance across all six strings, bold herringbone, East Indian rosewood, ebony, spruce, and vintage appointments give a classic look to a timeless sound.​
