Custom Shop Build Overview Martin OM-28 Cutaway Italian Spruce #3090354

The Martin OM-28 Cutaway is a player-focused take on the classic Orchestra Model.

This build pairs a solid Italian spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides, delivering a clear, articulate voice with rich overtone complexity and excellent dynamic range. The OM body size is known for its balance across the tonal spectrum, making it one of the most versatile acoustic guitar designs in the Martin lineup.

With classic Style 28 appointments and traditional construction, this instrument delivers timeless Martin tone with enhanced playability.

Construction & Craftsmanship

Handcrafted in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, this instrument features Martin’s traditional dovetail neck joint and solid tonewood construction to maximize resonance and long-term stability.

The forward-shifted Golden Era scalloped X-bracing allows the soundboard to move more freely, enhancing sustain, responsiveness, and tonal clarity.

Classic Style 28 detailing, including a multi-stripe rosette and understated appointments, gives the guitar a timeless, vintage-inspired appearance.

Tone & Performance

The OM-28 is known for its balance, clarity, and versatility. This version delivers excellent articulation across all playing styles, from fingerstyle to flatpicking, while maintaining a controlled low end and rich overtone content.

• Balanced tone across bass, mids, and trebles
• Clear note separation for complex chord voicings
• Rich overtone complexity and sustain
• Responsive feel for both light and aggressive playing styles

This makes the guitar an ideal choice for recording musicians, singer-songwriters, and players seeking a highly adaptable acoustic.
