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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighlights\u003cbr\u003eHG-14 Fret body size\u003cbr\u003eKoa back and sides\u003cbr\u003eSpruce top\u003cbr\u003eGE Modified Low Oval neck with High-Performance Taper\u003cbr\u003e1 3\/4'' fingerboard width at nut\u003cbr\u003eHardshell case\u003cbr\u003eStrings: Authentic Acoustic Lifespan® 2.0 Guitar Strings Phosphor Bronze - Light\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop\u003cbr\u003eTop Material: Spruce\u003cbr\u003eFinish Top: Gloss\u003cbr\u003eTop Color: Clear\u003cbr\u003eTop Inlay Material: Bold Herringbone\u003cbr\u003eTop Detail: None\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Antique White\u003cbr\u003eBridge Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eBridge Style: Modern Straightline - Drop in Saddle\u003cbr\u003eBridge String Spacing: 2 5\/32\"\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pin Material: White Plastic\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pin Dots: Black Plastic\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: Tortoise Pattern\u003cbr\u003ePickguard Inlay: None\u003cbr\u003eRosette: Style 28 Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003eSaddle: Compensated Bone\u003cbr\u003eSaddle Radius: 16\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003eBody Size: HG-14 Fret\u003cbr\u003eConstruction: Dovetail Neck Joint\u003cbr\u003eBack Material: Koa\u003cbr\u003eSide Material: Koa\u003cbr\u003eBack and Side Finish: Gloss\u003cbr\u003eBack and Sides Color: Natural\u003cbr\u003eBack Detail: None\u003cbr\u003eSide Detail: None\u003cbr\u003eBack Purfling\/Strip: None\u003cbr\u003eBack Inlay Material: Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003eSide Inlay Material: None\u003cbr\u003eBracing Pattern: X-Brace\u003cbr\u003eBrace Shape: Scalloped\u003cbr\u003eBrace Material: Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBrace Size: 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003eHeelcap: Antique White\u003cbr\u003eEndpiece: Antique White\u003cbr\u003eEndpiece Inlay: Multi-Stripe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: GE Modified Low Oval\u003cbr\u003eNeck Taper: High-Performance Taper\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Select Hardwood\u003cbr\u003eNeck Color: Natural\u003cbr\u003eFinish Neck: Satin\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 24.9\"\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets Total: 20\u003cbr\u003eNeck Joins Body At: 14th Fret\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Width at 12th Fret: 2 1\/8''\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Width at Nut: 1 3\/4''\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay Style: Old Style 18\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay Material: Abalone\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Binding Material: None\u003cbr\u003eSide Dots: Yellow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeadstock\u003cbr\u003eHeadstock Shape: Solid with Square Taper and Diamond\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Logo Style: Martin O'ahu Script Overlay\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Binding Material: None\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines: Nickel Open Gear\u003cbr\u003eKnob: Butterbean\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMisc\u003cbr\u003eCase: Hardshell\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Paper Label w\/Model Name and Pre-Printed CFM IV Signature\u003cbr\u003eElectronics: None\u003cbr\u003eLeft Handed Availability: true\u003cbr\u003ePleked: true\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45183703810095,"sku":"M2980609","price":3799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/2875\/9855\/files\/DSC_0182_916711a4-2d9e-4c84-8191-4dfe70d3b720.jpg?v=1775675960","url":"https:\/\/fullersguitar.com\/products\/martin-oahu%c2%ae-hg-28-koa-hawaiian-guitar","provider":"Fuller's Guitar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
