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.
