Some guitars are designed to honor history, while others are built to recreate it as faithfully as possible. Available now at Haggerty's Music, this 2015 Martin OM-28 Authentic 1931 is part of Martin's celebrated Authentic Series, a collection crafted using painstaking research into the company's most revered pre-war instruments. From its hide glue construction and Adirondack spruce top with Vintage Tone System treatment to its Madagascar rosewood body and period-correct appointments, this guitar was built to capture the sound, feel, and spirit of one of the finest Orchestra Models ever produced.
Originally introduced in 1929, the Orchestra Model forever changed the acoustic guitar landscape by combining a comfortable 14-fret neck with a 25.4" scale length, creating an instrument that offered exceptional projection, clarity, and balance. The OM-28 quickly became a favorite among fingerstyle players while proving equally capable for flatpicking, accompaniment, and recording. Martin's Authentic 1931 recreation follows the original blueprint with remarkable attention to detail, employing hide glue construction, Authentic 1931 X-bracing, Adirondack spruce braces with Vintage Tone System treatment, and historically accurate neck dimensions to recreate the responsiveness and dynamic range that made the original legendary.
The result is a guitar with extraordinary headroom, crisp articulation, and lush harmonic complexity. The VTS-treated Adirondack spruce top responds with the openness of a well-played vintage instrument, while the Madagascar rosewood back and sides contribute deep bass, sparkling trebles, and rich overtone content. Whether you're performing traditional bluegrass, fingerstyle, folk, Americana, or studio work where every nuance matters, this OM-28 Authentic 1931 delivers the unmistakable voice of Martin's Golden Era. Complete with its original hardshell case, this exceptional instrument represents one of the closest experiences available to owning a true pre-war original.
