Is the Martin OM 28 a good guitar?

I’ve always preferred smaller bodied guitars, but most OMs I’ve played lacked the body and resonance I want in an acoustic. I typically play fingerstyle, which the OM-28 excels at, but this guitar also projects well when strummed. This OM-28 is subtle but looks great. And the sound and playability is second to none.

What is the difference between a Martin OM 21 and OM 28?

The major differences include: Higher grade rosewood and spruce for Style 28. 28 gets herringbone purfling around the edge of the top, 21 has no top inlay around the edge at all (which may decrease a top’s flexibility and resulting resonance.)

Suitable for both fingerstyle and plectrum work, the OM guitar is favoured by some of the world’s most popular guitarists, including Eric Clapton and John Mayer among many more.

Is Martin OM 21 a good guitar?

The build quality is superb, the neck and overall comfort is perfect, and the tone is out of this world. I honestly can’t think of another acoustic guitar that is as versatile as the OM-21 – it does EVERYTHING and does it well.

What is the most famous Martin guitar?

What do you like and dislike about the Martin om-28v?

Like about the Martin OM-28V: OM size fits comfortably and makes you want to play forever! This model has an even, balanced tone throughout range (e.g., compared to a Martin D-28 ). Dislike about the Martin OM28V: This model doesn’t have the acoustic depth of a Santa Cruz OM, or craftsmanship of a Bourgeois, but is well-built guitar.

What is the string spacing on a Martin om-28v?

But the OM-28V’s 2-5/16” string spacing is the Goldilocks “just right” for my picking hand, landing right over the sound hole. The real OMs from the 30s had 2-3/8″ spacing, like the Marquis. The OM-28V was the only Martin OM with 2-5/16″ for many years, and now that the OM-21 Special has been retired, it is again.

Is the om-28v a good guitar?

The OM-28V stood out as easily the best-sounding of the bunch, particularly played fingerstyle, and perhaps partially because of its age. It has been very well cared for, and looks brand-new.

What’s the difference between the om-28v and the 28 Marquis necks?

The neck on the OM-28V made today has a little less mass, but a little more V feeling to the cheek area, but the V is shallower than it was 12 or so years ago. Personally, there are things I like about the 28V and 28 Marquis necks, and things that bother me. But then, I have finicky hands.
