Om-28v oh my!
Out of town visiting family, and popped into Oklahoma Vintage Guitars outside of Oklahoma City. Had a chance to play a D28 Marquis that was incredible. Spent some time talking to the manager and told him I was looking for a small body rosewood, and he walks over and opens a Martin box.
It was a brand new, never been played OM-28V. Oh My Word! Guys, I know why so many are chomping at the bit to see an OM-28 Authentic. This thing was incredible. How do you get that much sound out of such a small body?!! Super rich and warm bass. Nice clear ringing trebles. Nice mids too, though not as pronounced as a mahogany OM I'd say. Just an incredible guitar. Wish I had the scratch to pick that one up! It was really hard to walk out of there without it!

Good news: the new version OM-28 is every bit as great sounding as the OM-28v you played, and you won't have to deal with that pointy mod-v neck anymore!

Have to agree. Stumbled across mine a couple of years ago when I was looking for either a 000 12 fret or 00 12 fret. Thought I would buy the om28v and then sell it when the right 12 fret came along. Now its hard to imagine what would come along to take its place.

I think I first posted here I wanted one in 2008 and pulled the trigger on mine in 2013. Awesome guitar that does everything well including pretending its a dreadnought fairly well. To me it epitomizes the rosewood Martin sound. I only regret it took me almost a year to use D'Addario EJ17 pb bluegrass strings to being out its best for me.

I love mine and the V neck makes all others feel, to me... inadequate. I don't want anything different, and that's an all time first for me.

Ah, bitten by the OM28V bug....and for good reason; the OM28V is IMHO at the top of the list of the best Martin guitars made.
