Among the many models created by Martin, a brand that has been with the history of American music, the Style 28 with an OOO (triple-O auditorium) size body has a rare sound balance, high response, and is easy to hold and play, and has long been loved as a standard model.

In particular, Eric Clapton's performance on MTV Unplugged in 1992 using the OOO-28 as his main guitar had a great impact, completely changing the acoustic guitar scene, which had been dominated by dreadnoughts until then, and creating a trend of re-evaluating medium-sized and small-bodied acoustic guitars such as OOO.

OOO-sized guitars have excellent sound quality on the fingerboard from the 6th string to the 1st string, and are highly responsive to picking, allowing finger pickers to fully express their delicate picking nuances. The easy-to-hold size allows for a relaxed playing posture and sense of unity, which cannot be obtained with a large body, and the emotional feeling of the sound popping out as the whole body vibrates.

The combination of spruce and rosewood produces a lustrous, clear tone from low to high notes, and is perfect for strumming blues like Clapton, or for folk songs. Its character is suitable for any genre or playing style. Specifications

Overall review
Although this is an instrument that is over 30 years old, it is in very good condition.
Small scratches have been repaired and lacquer refinished.
There is no noticeable damage or history of repairs, so you can use it with confidence.
There is no warping or quirks in the neck, and you can get the right string height and play comfortably.
The guitars we sell are checked for condition and have their string height adjusted before they are put on sale (listed).

We also re-inspect and adjust them before shipping to ensure they are delivered in the best condition for comfortable play.

Our standard string height is 2.5mm for the 6th string and 2.0mm for the 1st string at the 12th fret.
