Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Martin's Custom Shop 28 Style OMC pairs a premium Sitka spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides in a right-handed orchestra-model cutaway. Scalloped X bracing is paired with a voice described as balanced, with rich bass, crisp highs, and clarity for fingerstyle or flatpicking. The modified low oval mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, and cutaway keep upper-fret work within reach. Vintage-style details include the 1935 teardrop sunburst gloss, antique white binding, and Grover nickel tuners.
