Frequently Asked Questions
The Sunburst finish’s slight tinting can subtly dampen high-end frequencies, resulting in a warmer tone, though the difference is minimal and often unnoticeable.
The 1.75” nut width provides ample string spacing, but the neck profile is a standard 'Modified Low Oval', which might feel slightly thicker than some modern profiles – try it on before buying if possible.
The OM-28 has a more focused, articulate sound compared to the fuller, boomier D-28; the OM is better suited for fingerstyle and nuanced playing, while the D-28 excels with powerful strumming.
