Product Details
Brand: Martin
Experience the perfect marriage of vintage Hawaiian heritage and modern playability with the Martin O’ahu HG-28. Inspired by the golden era of the 1920s and ‘30s—a period that birthed the modern steel-string guitar—this Special Edition model offers a unique, approachable body shape that bridges the gap between the power of a Dreadnought and the intimate comfort of a 000.
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.
