Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The OM-28 Modern Deluxe is a right-handed Auditorium acoustic built with a solid Sitka spruce VTS top and East Indian rosewood back and sides. Martin combines a dovetail neck joint and natural protein glue construction with gold frets, gold open-gear tuners, Liquidmetal bridge pins, and a lightweight carbon-fiber bridgeplate. Its slightly asymmetrical neck profile is described for comfort in rhythm and lead work, while the wider nut spacing is presented for fingerpicking. A hardshell case comes with the guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fingerpicking work that benefits from the wider spacing at the 1.75-inch nut.
- Rhythm and lead playing across the fretboard with the slightly asymmetrical neck profile.
- Taking the guitar to gigs or jam sessions in its included hardshell case.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing an onboard pickup or preamp, as none is fitted.
