“Ideal for players who love the dreadnought tone in a more comfortable size”: Martin debuts all-new body size and salutes Hawaiian influence on steel-string acoustics with the koa-backed O’ahu HG-28

The O'ahu HG-28 debuts a new slope-shouldered dreadnought acoustic body shape for Martin.

Martin has unveiled an all-new acoustic guitar body shape with the launch of the O’ahu HG-28, a guitar that honours the pre-Golden Era early acoustic designs inspired by the popularity of Hawaiian music.

The brainchild of executive chairman Chris Martin IV, the O’ahu HG-28 features a 14-fret slope-shouldered dreadnought shape but with a shallower 000 depth, making for one very approachable instrument.
