Item in good condition (small marks or scratches)
If you're a lefty seeking a top-draw Martin OM-28, then we have the guitar for you! The Martin Custom Shop North street line blends timeless craftsmanship with modern enhancements. Designed to evoke the legendary instruments built at the C.F. Martin factory in Nazareth during the pre-war years, it offers exceptional tonal quality, aesthetic appeal, and contemporary playability.
The guitar features an Adirondack Spruce top, paired with Golden Era-style Adirondack X-bracing. This carefully hand-shaped, scalloped bracing enhances resonance, clarity, and responsiveness, delivering vibrant tones and powerful bass, even under aggressive playing. Its design reflects the lightweight construction of pre-war models, offering tonal bliss while remaining durable for modern use. The Herringbone inlay is another hallmark of the era, a delicate design discontinued during wartime material shortages and revered for its rarity and beauty. This guitar boasts a Black Ebony fingerboard, light aging toner, and a tinted rosette, giving it an understated yet striking vintage aesthetic. These premium tonewoods, paired with meticulous craftsmanship, make it a testament to Martin’s legacy.
Modern functionality includes an adjustable truss rod and a modified low-oval neck profile, ensuring a comfortable and stable playing experience. Adding to its exclusivity, this range is available only in the UK and Ireland and comes with a suite of luxury items. The package includes a bespoke leather folder, handmade in Scotland, containing ownership documents embossed with gold leaf, along with detailed specifications printed on branded craft paper.
The guitar itself features an internal Custom Shop label, and the serial number is displayed on high-quality card stock. This instrument seamlessly marries historical reverence with modern innovation, making it a rare and luxurious addition to any collection.
The guitar has been fully set up by our in-house technician and includes its original hard case and all candy!
