The OM‐28 Modern Deluxe delivers classic Martin style alongside subtle modern innovations. Vintage-style features include a Sitka spruce Vintage Tone System (torrefied) top, a dovetail neck joint, and natural protein glue construction. The look is unlike anything in Martin's production line to date, with European flamed maple binding, stylish gold frets, gold open‐gear tuners, and a 1930s style script logo inlaid in pearl on the headstock. Modern features include a titanium truss rod, Liquidmetal bridge pins with red dots, and a carbon fiber bridgeplate that boosts volume without adding weight. The new neck shape is designed for maximum hand comfort up and down the fretboard.
