Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

A compelling "new best buddy" candidate here, y'all!  The very essence of versatility in 6 string form, the vintage-inspired tonality of this OM-28E is perfectly balanced by modern playability and an onboard pickup.  There's nothing you -can't- do on this thing!

From Martin and Co.

A modern re-creation of the classic Orchestra model, the Martin OM-28E Retro is ideal for the guitarist who enjoys fingerstyle techniques. The OM-28E Retro carries a distinct vintage-inspired design with modern playability.
