Martin’s Orchestra model has been a player favorite for the better part of a century, and the OM-28 Modern Deluxe takes it to a whole new level of sonic excellence. With its compact orchestra body style, the OM-28 Modern Deluxe is perfect for fingerpicking and layers extremely well with larger-bodied guitars in the mix. Its Sitka spruce Vintage Tone System top has been torrefied for maximum projection and harmonic excitement. The dovetail neck joint and use of hide glue reinforce the classic Martin tone. And with its flamed maple binding, gold frets, gold open-gear tuners, and unique 1930s-style logo on the headstock, the OM-28 Modern Deluxe looks unlike anything else from Martin’s production line. Complete with other modern advancements and a new neck shape designed for maximum comfort, there’s a lot to love about the Martin OM-28 Modern Deluxe acoustic guitar.
Tone connoisseurs are always in search of the perfect guitar tone, and in the acoustic world, one of the most loved tones is that of a vintage Martin. We’re talking guitars that have aged well over 50 years. Martin Guitars recently perfected a unique way of torrefying the top woods and braces of their guitars to achieve the sound of an aged and broken-in Martin. The Vintage Tone System (VTS) lets Martin age the woods to a specific age/time period without the typical change in color of the wood from the torrefaction process. A special vintage gloss finish is then hand-applied to give the guitar the coloring of a vintage instrument. Martin’s guitars with VTS tops not only look like vintage guitars, they also have that sought-after sound.
While they’ve been known for over a century of distinction, the luthiers at Martin are happy to embrace modern enhancements if it means better tone for you, the player. In the Martin OM-28 Modern Deluxe, you’ll find modern advancements such as a titanium truss rod and Liquidmetal bridge pins. And the inclusion of a carbon fiber bridge plate boosts volume without adding more weight. Even the neck shape has been refined for maximum playability and comfort. Martin fans are wary of changes to a winning recipe, but we’ve embraced the sound of Martin’s Modern Deluxe improvements.
