Frequently Asked Questions
The OM-28 is more focused and articulate than the D-28; it lacks the D-28’s sheer volume but offers greater clarity and complexity in quieter settings.
The neck profile is a modified low oval, offering a comfortable feel for most hand sizes, but players with very large hands might find it slightly snug.
The included case is a high-quality, hardshell case providing excellent protection for the guitar during transport and storage.
