Martin Custom Shop OM-28 Style - 1 11/16" #59932 (Empire Music Spec)

Built on the foundation of the Martin OM-28 Standard, this Martin Custom Shop OM-28 Style combines the balance, articulation, and versatility of one of Martin's most celebrated Orchestra Models with a collection of thoughtful upgrades selected by the team at Empire Music. As one of only a small number of Martin Custom Expert Dealers, we've spent years designing custom guitars that enhance the playing experience without losing sight of what makes a great Martin special. 

This guitar was designed for players who love the sound and feel of an OM-28 but prefer the comfort of a traditional 1 11/16" nut width. It delivers a familiar and effortless playing experience while preserving the balance, clarity, and versatility that have made the OM one of the most respected acoustic guitar designs ever created. 

Beyond the neck, we've enhanced the guitar's responsiveness with a thin Authentic-thickness top and hand-scalloped Golden Era bracing—features that players have consistently gravitated toward in our Custom Shop designs. Together, these upgrades help the instrument respond more quickly to a lighter touch while producing greater openness, dynamic range, and harmonic complexity. The guitar retains the articulate voice, piano-like balance, and exceptional note separation of a traditional OM-28 while offering a livelier, more responsive, and more expressive playing experience. 

Completing the build is a premium 5-ply Geib-style hardshell case, providing superior protection and a classic vintage-inspired presentation worthy of a Custom Shop instrument.
