    The Martin O'ahu HG-28 is a tribute to the Hawaiian music craze of the 1920s and early ‘30s that helped shape acoustic guitar history. This model introduces an all-new approachable body size to the Martin line, best described as a smaller 14-fret sloped-shoulder Dreadnought with the depth of a 000. Anyone who picks up this guitar will instantly notice how comfortable it is. Like a new, old friend. It's ideal for players who cherish the robust Dreadnought sound in a more comfortable size. 


    At the heart of the HG-28 is its construction from solid flamed Hawaiian koa back and sides paired with a solid spruce top. This choice of tonewoods not only delivers a stunning aesthetic but also ensures a rich, balanced tone with articulate highs and warm lows. The scalloped spruce X bracing enhances resonance and sustain, while the gloss finish highlights the natural beauty of the koa and spruce. 


    The HG-28 also features a satin-finished select hardwood neck with a Golden Era modified low oval profile and high-performance taper for a smooth and comfortable playing experience. Whether you're strumming chords or picking intricate island melodies, its shorter 24.9” scale length offers a more relaxed string feel and excellent response. The 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. 


    Adding to its vintage appeal, the HG-28 boasts bold herringbone trim and antique white binding, reminiscent of Martin’s early Hawaiian-style guitars and complementing its overall aesthetic with a touch of classic Martin craftsmanship. Making its debut as part of the new Martin O’ahu family of instruments, this guitar is not just a tribute to the past but a testament to Martin's ongoing commitment to musical innovation.
