{"product_id":"martin-oahu-special-edition-hg-28-natural","title":"MARTIN O'ahu Special Edition HG-28, Natural","description":"Without the Hawaiian music craze of the 1920s and early ‘30s, it’s safe to say the modern-day steel-string acoustic guitar wouldn’t exist. That’s the link Chris Martin IV discovered while researching the history of Hawaiian music and its importance to the innovation and success of Martin Guitar. The guitars that were built to support that craze led to the “Golden Era” models we know and love today, like the iconic Dreadnought. Inspired by vintage models from the era, the new Martin O’ahu™ HG-28 is a tribute to that period – an approachable body shape for the Martin line made of solid flamed Hawaiian koa back and sides and a solid spruce top for a beautifully-balanced sound. Aside from its looks, anyone who picks up this guitar will instantly notice how comfortable it is. Like a new, old friend. Making its debut as part of the Martin O’ahu family of instruments, the Martin O'ahu HG-28 is best described as a smaller 14-fret sloped-shoulder Dreadnought with the depth of a 000, ideal for players who love the Dreadnought tone in a more comfortable size. The short-scale satin neck, with its Golden Era modified low oval profile, offers a smooth and comfortable playing experience. The Martin O’ahu HG-28 plays easily with low action and feels right at home in standard tuning or any one of several slack key open tunings such as open G, which is widely used in Hawaiian-style guitar music. Bold herringbone trim and antique white binding add a touch of vintage charm, reminiscent of Martin’s early Hawaiian-style guitars. With the Martin O’ahu HG-28, Martin is ready to make more music history – this time in your hands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Size: HG-14 Fret\u003cbr\u003eFinish Top: Gloss\u003cbr\u003eConstruction: Dovetail Neck Joint\u003cbr\u003eBack and Side Finish: Gloss\u003cbr\u003eBracing Pattern: X-Brace\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 24.9\"\u003cbr\u003eBrace Shape: Scalloped\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Width at Nut: 1 3\/4''\u003cbr\u003eTop Material: Spruce\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: GE Modified Low Oval\u003cbr\u003eBack Material: Koa\u003cbr\u003eNeck Taper: High-Performance Taper\u003cbr\u003eSide Material: Koa\u003cbr\u003eElectronics: None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop:\u003cbr\u003eTop Color: Clear\u003cbr\u003eBridge Style: Modern Straightline - Drop in Saddle\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Antique White\u003cbr\u003eBridge String Spacing: 2 5\/32\"\u003cbr\u003eTop Inlay Material: Bold Herringbone\u003cbr\u003eBridge Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eTop Detail: None\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pin Material: White Plastic\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: Tortoise Pattern\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pin Dots: Black Plastic\u003cbr\u003ePickguard Inlay: None\u003cbr\u003eSaddle: Compensated Bone\u003cbr\u003eRosette: Style 28 Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003eSaddle Radius: 16\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody:\u003cbr\u003eBrace Material: Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBack and Sides Color: Natural\u003cbr\u003eBrace Size: 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003eBack Detail: None\u003cbr\u003eBack Purfling\/Strip: None\u003cbr\u003eBack Inlay Material: Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003eHeelcap: Antique White\u003cbr\u003eSide Detail: None\u003cbr\u003eEndpiece: Antique White\u003cbr\u003eSide Inlay Material: None\u003cbr\u003eEndpiece Inlay: Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck:\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Select Hardwood\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eFinish Neck: Satin\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Width at 12th Fret: 2 1\/8''\u003cbr\u003eNeck Color: Natural\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay Style: Old Style 18\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets Total: 20\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay Material: Abalone\u003cbr\u003eNeck Joins Body At: 14th Fret\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Binding Material: None\u003cbr\u003eSide Dots: Yellow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeadstock:\u003cbr\u003eHeadstock Shape: Solid with Square Taper and Diamond\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines: Nickel Open Gear\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eKnob: Butterbean\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Logo Style: Martin O'ahu Script Overlay\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Binding Material: None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMisc:\u003cbr\u003eCase: Softshell\u003cbr\u003eLeft Handed Availability: true\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Paper Label w\/Model Name and Pre-Printed CFM IV Signature\u003cbr\u003ePleked: true","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53028948345141,"sku":"729789680325","price":5359.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/5384\/5301\/files\/HG-28-Martin-Oahu_Full-Front_5496188d-581a-43d9-8b4b-443c655564f2.jpg?v=1782442124","url":"https:\/\/musiquediplomate.com\/products\/martin-oahu-special-edition-hg-28-natural","provider":"Centre de Musique Diplomate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
