Full Description
View Full DescriptionA divine tonewood duo
The body of the OM-28E is built to provide an incredible tone. Crafted from East Indian rosewood, the back and sides offer richness, brightness, and sparkling clarity. Whether you're fingerpicking or strumming, you will be equipped with a wonderfully consistent sound thanks to rosewood's even response. Beneath such crisp articulation is dark and complex resonance, contributing to a beautiful, full-bodied tone. Rosewood has been a reliable favourite for acoustic guitars over the years, and if Martin trust in its tonal qualities then you know it's a sublime feature.
Complementing the back and sides is a spruce top, another trustworthy tonewood. Spruce's broad dynamic range and incredible definition make it ideal for any gigging musician. The two attributes work hand in hand, so you can be sure that not a touch of clarity is not lost amidst any powerful strumming. Spruce also boasts a versatile, balanced tone, allowing you to explore a range of techniques and styles whilst retaining gorgeous sound.
Flawless fretting
Attached onto such a divine body is a select hardwood neck. It is wonderfully strong, meaning you can play as excessively as you like without worrying about it growing tired or worn. On top lies an ebony fretboard, the real showstopper. Ebony's high oil content gives it a smooth and fast finish, allowing you to practice quick fretting techniques immaculately. And it is fantastically durable, so it won’t wear away from the frequent attack of your fingertips. Better still, every note released from your fingers will be enhanced with ebony's stunning sonic capabilities. Ebony is an extremely responsive tonewood that offers a beautifully bright sound, making it a gorgeous accompaniment to rosewood and spruce. Project your music with purpose and brilliant volume, ebony's snappy and crisp attack ensures that every single note cuts through the mix astonishingly well, leaving nothing unheard. This exquisite sound produced by a high-quality tonewood is exactly what acoustic players look for.
Incredible stability
In order to deliver an exceptional, clear tone and sustain a comfortable playing experience, it is important to have a sturdy and durable structure. The OM-28E provides the utmost stability from the inside. Within the spruce and rosewood body there is an X-brace which offers robustness and added resonance. Tune up and play without worrying about any potential guitar body tragedies, X-bracing is strong enough to withstand any amount of pressure.
A sea of rich sound
Don't keep such a scrumptious sound to yourself. Let everyone experience its greatness. With LR Baggs Anthem electronics, you can do just that. Located within the soundhole, the preamp does not impede the natural acoustic beauty of this guitar, and yet you can still relish glorious amplification for those larger venues. You'll have Volume, Mix, and Phase controls at your fingertips, ready for your expert sound sculpting. And thanks to innovative, highly defined technology, every frequency will be picked up whilst a noise cancelling microphone eliminates any unwanted noise from inside the guitar.
