Martin O'ahu® HG-28 O'ahu Series Acoustic Guitar

The "HG" Body Shape: Dreadnought Tone, 000 Comfort

The O’ahu HG-28 introduces a brand-new body size to the Martin lineup: a 14-fret sloped-shoulder Dreadnought with the depth of a 000. This design provides the projection and resonance you expect from a Dreadnought but with a slimmer profile that sits comfortably in your lap. Whether you are flatpicking bluegrass or fingerpicking intricate "slack key" melodies, the HG-28 responds with a balanced, airy voice that "blooms" with every note.

Premium Tonewoods & Vintage Aesthetics

Crafted with solid flamed Hawaiian Koa back and sides and a solid spruce top, the HG-28 is as visually stunning as it is sonically rich. The Koa provides a warm, focused midrange with a hint of island shimmer, while the spruce top and scalloped X-bracing ensure a lively, responsive top end.

• Vintage Charm: Adorned with bold herringbone trim, antique white binding, and a Style 28 multi-stripe rosette.
• Signature Headstock: Features the unique "Martin O’ahu" script logo, a tribute to the historic instruments that shaped Martin's legacy.

Effortless Playability

Designed for the modern player who values comfort, the HG-28 features a short-scale (24.9") neck with a satin finish. The Golden Era-modified low oval profile and high-performance taper make for a smooth transition across the ebony fingerboard, while the 1 ¾” nut width provides ample spacing for complex fingerstyle work.
