Martin O'ahu HG-28 Spruce/Koa Sloped Shoulder HG Acoustic Guitar #1261

The Martin O’ahu HG-28 is a beautifully executed nod to the guitars that helped shape modern steel-string acoustics. Inspired by the early Hawaiian-style instruments that fueled the dreadnought’s rise, this model blends vintage influence with modern comfort in a way that just feels natural in your hands. The body shape is something special—a sloped-shoulder 14-fret design that’s more compact than a standard dreadnought but still has the depth and presence players expect. You get the projection and punch you love, without the bulk. Built with a solid spruce top and solid Hawaiian koa back and sides, this guitar is light and alive, with a tone that balances warmth and clarity beautifully. The scalloped X-bracing, short 24.9" scale, and GE-modified low oval neck make it an incredibly responsive player, perfect for both standard and alternate tunings. It’s got all the right touches—bold herringbone trim, antique white binding, and that O’ahu script logo on the headstock that really ties the heritage into the look. Whether you’re a fan of Martin’s history or just want a dreadnought-style voice in a more approachable shape, the HG-28 is ready to bring a little Golden Era magic into your everyday playing.
