Martin Custom Shop 28/45 Style OM Adirondack/Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood  w/case 3068286

This Martin Custom Shop 28/45 Style OM is a carefully crafted Tone Shop Guitars exclusive that blends the timeless elegance of Style 45 appointments with the warmth and balance of a traditional OM platform. Built around an Adirondack spruce top and premium Wild Grain East Indian rosewood back and sides, this custom Orchestra Model delivers exceptional headroom, dynamic response, and rich harmonic complexity.

The combination of a forward-shifted, scalloped Adirondack Golden Era bracing pattern and long-scale OM design creates a remarkably responsive instrument that excels equally in fingerstyle, flatpicking, and light-to-medium strumming applications. Adirondack spruce provides tremendous clarity and projection, while the premium Wild Grain East Indian rosewood contributes deep bass response, shimmering overtones, and outstanding sustain.

A Modified V neck profile paired with Martin's High Performance Taper offers a comfortable blend of vintage-inspired feel and modern playability. Style 45-inspired appointments, including an abalone rosette, Diamonds & Squares Long fingerboard inlays, aging toner top, and premium rosewood appointments, give this custom build a distinguished appearance that matches its exceptional tonal capabilities.
