NGD Martin 000-28.
Taking a break from all the constant family gatherings at my house, so took a ride to my local shop. They had a few choice Martins, but the ones I honed in on were an OM-42 that was hanging on the wall…and then eventually a OOO-28 they hadn’t even unboxed yet. As expected both were fine instruments. Initially I thought the -42 had a more traditional (bit zingy) sound I like, while, the -28 seemed brassy and loud.
The -42 had a wonderful top with lots of silking…the -28 more plain. After A/Bing I started to enjoy the tone of the -28 more and more - and because of the herringbone trim, decided I liked the more classic look. Along with the price difference, had to go with the 000.
