Description

Brand new Martin OM-28 Authentic 1931 model, which features their VTS torrefied Adirondack Spruce top and bracing. Martin's new "Vintage Gloss" finish is a highlight too--featuring a significantly less glossy lustre, yet nowhere near a satiny texture. In short--it's a great idea in the name of the vintage-inspired aesthetic of the Authentic series, and Martin has pulled it off extremely well. The difference in tone is quite substantial as well--these guitars have that dry, woody sound you'd expect to hear in a vintage guitar -- and they're very light and responsive. Beautiful-looking rosewood on this guitar, which sounds extremely good! Priced with 533V Harptone case.
