The Martin OM-28 Modern Deluxe is a refined orchestra model that blends classic Martin character with modern performance upgrades. Its VTS-treated spruce top and Adirondack bracing give the guitar a responsive, broken-in feel with impressive clarity and headroom, while the East Indian rosewood body adds depth, shimmer, and rich overtones. The OM body shape keeps the tone balanced and articulate, making it equally rewarding for fingerstyle and flatpicking. Premium details like European flamed maple binding and gold open-gear tuners give it an elegant, high-end feel without being excessive. Clear, resonant, and highly expressive, this OM-28 offers a polished voice with timeless character.
The OM-28 Modern Deluxe merges vintage Martin character with modern sophistication. A spruce VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) top and Golden Era–style Adirondack spruce X-bracing replicate the articulate, lively tone of a nearly century-old Martin. Natural protein glue and a lightweight carbon-fiber bridge plate enhance sustain and resonance, while exclusive Liquidmetal® bridge pins return energy for increased projection. EVO gold frets and a slightly asymmetrical neck ensure a natural feel, and European flamed-maple binding, Waverly gold open-gear tuners, and a 1933-style pearl headplate logo highlight its refined and elegant style. With a 000-sized body and longer 25.4" scale length, this OM-28 delivers exceptional clarity, dynamic headroom, and balance—perfect for expressive players seeking heritage tone with modern precision.
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.
