OFFLINE Martin OM-28E Retro Electro Acoustic Guitar

Full Description

Quality Construction

The Martin OM-28E Retro features a solid sitka spruce top, well regarded for its sweet, smooth and 'all-round' tone with great projection and volume, combined with rosewood back and sides, that provide warmth with complex harmonic overtones. This mix of spruce and rosewood makes the OM-28E a balanced instrument with a versatile palette of tones.

Other quality features that set the Martin OM-28E apart include: HD zig-zag purfling with grained ivoroid binding, 1930s style belly bridge in solid black ebony with a compensated, white tusq saddle, nickel open-geared tuners, a Delmar tortoise pickguard and a high-grade polished gloss finish with aging toner on top.

Fishman Electronics

The OM-28E includes a Fishman F1 Aura Plus electronic system that features the stunning realism of Aura Acoustic Imaging technology in a distinctive and easy to use onboard preamp system. An intuitive menu driven interface combined with easy to operate control buttons allow you to replicate the sound of nine different world-class studio microphones, choose from custom-blended Aura Image presets or fully access the powerful 3-band EQ, compressor and anti-feedback.

Strong, Stable Neck

The hardwood neck of the OM-28E is crafted with a modified low oval profile and a performing artist taper providing comfort and ease of playability from a 25.4'' scale length. A solid black ebony fingerboard with 20 frets features diamond and square inlays, leads to a square taper headstock complete with nickle open-geared tuning machines.
