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....

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

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

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

It's the "Careful Strummer" model.

The original is just to darn big
