Martin is officially making too many guitars...
How many sets of eyes missed this OM pickguard on a $4000 Dreadnought before it left the factory? I can’t help but think if they scaled back a little bit, quality would improve. I say that as someone who loves and owns nothing but Martin guitars...

That is hilarious! Maybe it'll be worth more because it's one of kind...
|
The picture on Sweetwater's website showing all four of the D-28s together reminds me of the child's game, "Which one doesn't belong?" Maybe they're not making too many guitars; they just need to hire more seven-year-olds to do quality control....

Maybe Sweetwater ordered it that way.

That's not an OM pick guard on a dreadnought.
That's the correct pick guard for the new Martin deep body, wide bout, Modern Deluxe Natural 14 fret OM. OMDBWBMDN-14 |

And when I let sweetwater know, they sent me a “thanks, you’re right!” message. |
Though I admit it looks unaccustomed and odd, I actually prefer that pickguard shape to the usual. In my perfect world, no pickguard is ideal.

Did you see the alignment of push-fit tuner bushings?
Shambolic! :) |
I agree the OM guard does look nice (on an OM).
Here’s what a typical Martin D28 is wearing... https://www.sweetwater.com/store/det...erial=M2290777 https://media.sweetwater.com/api/i/q...body-large.jpg |

Common’...it’s not like they accidentally put the top in an oven or something.

It's the "Careful Strummer" model.

I like the look -actually better looking than the original-
The original is just to darn big |
