2010 Martin OM-28 Marquis Adirondack/Rosewood - L.R. Baggs Pickup - Jonny Diaz Provenance - Very Good to Excellent Condition

Up for sale is a beautiful 2010 C.F. Martin OM-28 Marquis (serial #1379689) in very good to excellent condition with only minor surface defects consistent with normal use. This premium Golden Era-inspired Orchestra Model was originally registered on March 15, 2010, and was previously owned by well-known Contemporary Christian Music artist Jonny Diaz (hits include “More Beautiful You” and the Gold-certified “Breathe”).

This is a true player’s and collector’s guitar — combining vintage 1930s OM specs with modern reliability and a professionally installed L.R. Baggs pickup for instant plug-and-play performance.

Highlights

•  Solid Adirondack Spruce top with Martin’s signature Aging Toner (warm vintage honey-amber look)

•  Solid East Indian Rosewood back and sides

•  Scalloped Golden Era X-bracing for outstanding volume and responsiveness

•  Factory-correct appointments: herringbone purfling, Style 28 rosette, grained ivoroid binding, tortoise pickguard, short-pattern diamond & square inlays

•  Comfortable Modified V neck with fossilized ivory nut and saddle

•  L.R. Baggs pickup professionally installed by Glazer Instruments in Nashville, TN

•  Gotoh nickel open-gear tuners with butterbean buttons

Condition

The guitar is in very good to excellent condition. The finish is clean and glossy with only very minor play wear. No cracks, no repairs, no issues. The neck is straight, the frets are in great shape, and it has low, comfortable action with perfect intonation. It looks, plays, and sounds fantastic. The only notable wear would be some small areas of clear coat wear on the binding in a few spots. They are shown in the photographs. In addition, the metal strap that connects the handle to the case is loose. It has been this way for the entire time I have owned the guitar (close to 15 years). I've carried it hundreds if not thousands of times and has never been an issue.

Tone

The OM-28 Marquis is widely praised for its powerful yet balanced voice — strong bass, sparkling trebles, and excellent projection. The Adirondack top delivers dynamic range and headroom that works beautifully for fingerstyle, strumming, and stage performance. The L.R. Baggs system captures the rich acoustic tone very naturally.

Included

•  Original TKL hardshell case (black exterior, plush brown/dark red interior — Very good shape)

•  Complete original Martin warranty paperwork and owner’s card

•  Martin Owners Club materials and 2010 registration documents (shown in photographs)

This is a rare opportunity to own a discontinued high-end Martin with documented artist provenance, Adirondack top, and a great performing pickup already installed. Whether you’re a performing musician, worship leader, or collector, this guitar checks every box.
