What We Think

Condition: Used, Very Good

SP Luthier Notes: A neck reset was performed to restore proper neck angle and action. Binding that had lifted was reglued and reset to ensure a secure, consistent fit. Minor dents were drop-filled, color-matched, and refinished. The truss rod and bridge were adjusted. No further work was needed. 

The 2016 Martin OM-28 VTS is a beautifully balanced, deeply musical instrument that blends classic elegance with modern responsiveness. Its Vintage Tone System Sitka spruce top delivers an open, broken-in voice with impressive clarity and dynamic range, while East Indian rosewood back and sides add rich overtones and depth. The comfortable Modified Low Oval neck makes long sessions effortless, and the OM body size excels at both fingerstyle nuance and articulate strumming. Lightly built and wonderfully resonant, this OM-28 VTS feels refined yet alive—an heirloom-quality investment designed to mature gracefully and inspire for decades.

About Manufacturer

For well over a century and a half, The Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing acoustic instruments that are acknowledged to be the finest in the world. The Martin Guitar Company has, through the years, managed to survive with each succeeding generation from C. F. Martin, Sr.?s Stauffer influenced creations of the 1830s to recent developments introduced by C. F. Martin IV. Continuous operation under family management is a feat bordering on the remarkable, reflecting six generations of dedication to the guitarmaker?s craft. In or out of the music industry, C. F. Martin has few rivals for sheer staying power. Throughout its colorful history, the company has adapted successfully to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods. In spite of the many changes, C. F. Martin has never veered away from its initial commitment to quality. The concern for producing the finest instruments possible in 1833 is especially evident today at Martin?s expanded facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The story behind one of America?s most famous guitars began on January 31, 1796, in Markneukirchen, Germany, with the birth of Christian Frederick Martin, Sr. Born into a long line of cabinet makers, Christian Frederick took up the family craft at the early age of 15, when he left his hometown and traveled to Vienna to apprentice with Johann Stauffer, a renowned guitar maker.
