The Story

O'ahu HG-28 Acoustic Guitar Natural 2025

Grab a great deal on this lightly used and still super clean Martin HG-28 as part of the Martin O'Ahu family of instruments which pay homage to the Hawaiian music craze of the 1920s and 30s - an era which helped shape the modern steel-string acoustic guitar as we know it! Featuring a unique body size, solid flamed Hawaiian koa back and sides, and a solid spruce top, the HG-28 delivers the unmistakable Martin sound in an approachable, comfortable size - ideal for musicians looking to make their own mark on music history.

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.

Includes: Martin Gigbag
