Just got myself a Martin OM-28 Marquis!
Evening
I opened a thread a couple of weeks ago asking for your opinion on an upgrade from a Martin OM-21. I've played many guitars since (OM-42, 000-42, 000-28EC, GPCPA1,SC OM/PW to name but a few) and today finally got the chance to play a brand-new Martin OM-28 Marquis. I played it against the new 2012 OM-21 and a OM-41 2012 Special with Adirondack top (which had been produced for NAMM) and a Taylor 514CE; for me the Marquis was undoubtedly the winner across all aspects. The wider neck, optical understatement (OM-41 looked like an OM-45 - too much bling for me) and, of course, the impeccable tone did it for me. On the net I found people saying that adirondack spruce takes a while to open up, but allegedly it's worth the while. Since I have never owned a guitar in that price range I invite you to share your opinions on that guitar or just drop a thought P.S. The poll ist just for fun. I find it interesting to see which guitars get the most votes. after all, it was the result of the poll i had started in my last thread that tempted me to ask my local guitar dealer whether he can order a OM-28 Marquis in for testing So long, Kevin |

Congrats on what I'm sure is an awesome guitar! I have a D28 Marquis and I would love to get my hands on an OM Marquis. I bet that guitar has huge sound for an OM. Post up a few pics if ya get a chance.
Congrats! |

Congrats. I took a gamble on my OM-28 Marquis when I purchased it online without having played it. I was happily blown away, still my favorite Martin I've ever played.

+1 for the OMJM. I've had mine not quite a year, it sees 1-3 hours of play a day. Just an amazing tone, silky smooth sound, sounds great plugged in and unplugged. I bought mine sight/sound/feel unseen/unheard/unfelt (?) after 2 years of teaching myself to play guitar on a beater. I knew it was exactly the guitar I wanted from live and studio recordings I've listened to so many times. When the NGD finally came, it was everything I had hoped for. Having the guitar of my dreams has been a very effective remedy for the minor GAS the has come up a couple times here and there. After a couple hours playing my OMJM I remember why I bought it and know there is not a guitar in the world I'd rather play or listen to.
Cheers !

I wouldn't exactly call it dream, but a OM-28 V would make me somewhat happy.

Thanks Shawn
That guitar on that song is a Adi/Brazilian Mayes SD-43. One of the best I've owned!

I voted Marquis, but only because HD28V wasn't there and not in a custom model anyway.

I'm currently saving up for an OM-28 Marquis. I've heard only great things about them. Hopefully someday...
