Visually dark, but lively as ever, this Dealer Select addition is sure to garner equal attention through its profound aesthetics and tonality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a Martin Custom Expert dealer, Russo Music is proud to offer exclusive, one-of-a-kind instruments like this exceptional Custom Shop creation. Carefully appointed with premium materials and sought-after specifications, this OM-28 showcases some of the finest features Martin has to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt on Martin’s revered OM Auditorium platform, this guitar pairs a solid spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides for a rich, balanced voice. Golden Era scalloped spruce X-bracing enhances responsiveness and projection, producing the articulate attack and dynamic range that OM players love. Compared to a traditional 000, the OM-28 offers added snap and clarity while maintaining warm lows, sparkling highs, and impressive sustain. Completing its sophisticated appearance are a black pickguard, herringbone top trim, and zig-zag back purfling—classic Martin details that perfectly complement the guitar’s dark aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Modified Low Oval neck with High Performance Taper provides exceptional comfort across the entire 25.4\" scale length, making extended playing sessions effortless. Joined with Martin’s traditional dovetail neck joint and finished in smooth satin, the select hardwood neck feels fast and natural in hand. An oiled black ebony fingerboard continues the instrument’s stealth-inspired appearance, while Style 28 abalone inlays provide an elegant contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003ePremium hardware ensures lasting performance and dependable tone. The black ebony Golden Era Modern Belly bridge, paired with a compensated bone saddle, maximizes string-to-body energy transfer for enhanced resonance and sustain. At the headstock, Grover nickel tuning machines provide smooth, precise tuning stability and excellent intonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProtected by a Martin five-ply hardshell case, this Custom Shop OM-28 Blacktop is built for a lifetime of music-making. Whether it’s accompanying you to gigs, songwriting sessions, or late-night jams, this remarkable instrument is ready to become a trusted companion wherever your musical journey leads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Highlight --\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMartin Custom Shop Expert Dealer exclusive model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOM auditorium-style body shape with Martin Modern adhesive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss-finished spruce top with Blacktop color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss-finished two-piece East Indian rosewood back and sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin-finished select hardwood neck with dovetail neck joint construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGolden Era Modified Low Oval neck profile with High Performance taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOiled black ebony fingerboard with twenty frets and select abalone inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGolden Era scalloped spruce braces in X-Brace pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGolden Era black ebony Modern Belly bridge with drop-in compensated bone saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBone nut with Grover nickel V97-18NA tuning machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoltaron body binding, rosette, and HD Zig Zag back purfling strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpanish cedar ribbons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMartin five-ply hardshell case included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Martin Guitars","offers":[{"title":"M2957964","offer_id":55609270567080,"sku":"10CMDFGLC24036454|||M2957964","price":5973.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1210\/3886\/files\/10CMDFGLC24036454_CUSTOM-SHOP-OM-AUDITORIUM-BODY-28-STYLE-SPRUCE-EAST-INDIAN-ROSEWOOD_M2957964-2.jpg?v=1758926209","url":"https:\/\/www.russomusic.com\/products\/martin-custom-shop-om-28-blacktop-acoustic-guitar-spruce-indian-rosewood","provider":"Russo Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
