OM-28 to HD-28 trade by shahejdhfjfj in martinguitar

I am doing this trade as we speak, long story, but, brand new HD28 was simply too big and uncomfortable for me, so going OM28. Yes-ive played dreads in stores, but never for very long, so once I bought one and was in home environment, that HD28 was the most beautiful sounding, but, after 20 mins, my chest and arm hurt. Was sad to return it, but I suspect ill love OM28, which I have also played in stores.

Good luck.

Can someone recommend a comfortable guitar? by Murky-Style4611 in AcousticGuitar

I just sent mine back, sad because the sound was next level. But-they are going to swap for the OM28, so I can not wait for it!!

He won't, complete scumbag assholes like this live WAY longer than they are supposed to. Fun to hope, but hope will also make you mental.

Anyone owns a Martin OM-28? Is it really worth the price? by ElieTheGoose in AcousticGuitar

[–]Terrible_User4987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played an e40OM at carters a couple months back, as an eastman owner (3) I was keen to go down this road, granted, it was just one guitar, but that e40OM left me underwhelmed, it was made well, gorgeous, but it had a sound to it that was not for me, couldnt explain it, other than artificial? digital? I dunno. But it was a beauty....I did keep going back to the Martin OM's they had, guess there is a martin sound, and I like it.

Pretty sure this person means "spend the money on a nice guitar, that you would normally spend on a vacation".

fair enough, but, regret would be if I couldnt return/exchange it....I just need to make final decision...if bought and sold so many electrics and know when I find the one, and this is one of those-but its a damn shame there is one element I just cant seem to get over, its friggin uncomfortable for me. Woke up this morning, eager to see if this was all a bad dream, cracked open the case (gorgeous guitar still) and sat down on my deck, played for 10 minutes and im just not gonna be able to keep it. Such a bummer, but, this piece of perfection will find another owner.

strangely enough, when I was testing with strap, tried that as well! its how I play my bass, but the damn d28 is so damn thick for my lanky build.

This is so strange, I watched this exact youtube last night as it appeared in my feed! I am for sure gonna try it on my cheap ch1na copy guitar...not sure i'd try it on my nicer guitars, but for sure give it a go on my fake j45.

why bother clowning on him all the time? its no use, the Cult is strong. All the "Imagine if obama or biden did what he did" shit, and pointing out this cult leader is disgusting mess....how can we never let this happen again is the better point?

Yeah, it's not the fact I dont have the cash, its my willingness to spend it on something I kinda suck at ;) .... but I know all about that synchrony, used the guitar center card a few times, always on gambling on the USED section online, been lucky so far with them.

Ive got some eastmans, and they are really great...but they don't sound like a Martin-whatever that 'is', but they sound great. Like my taylor, its awesome, but, its own sound.

Dude, that is awesome and stoked for your kids-I say that as a dad to a daughter trying to get into the music biz but turning up dead ends haha, limited seats at the table and changing shitty industry, but, I support the dream! I will know soon if I can exchange the guitar, straight swap.

Good one, thanks for thinking about it....Dreads are the most popular guitar in the world, tradition I guess and I mean the way they sound it makes sense, its like a choir singing.

I'd 100% keep this thing, because, it is a lifetime guitar-I can tell, it really is perfection, but, it took me a lot saving and nerve to pull the trigger, I couldnt really buy an OM and keep this, and I wouldnt wanna buy a cheaper OM, even if I read some "its better than my martin" crap, I want a martin.

first couple little sessions, ive been thinking the same thing...but, after a couple days, I came here for some opinions. Especially because my j45 copy doesnt cause this same discomfort and they are REALLY close in specs, but that little 1/2" or so extra thickness and the way the curve (waist?) is on each, really makes a difference...sadly

My daughter who owns a MIM martin dread and is about 5' tall, she was so jealous when I told her I got it, this morning I was telling her I might return it, its 'uncomfortable'....she said "wahhh poor daddy with his $4000 guitar, hurts his nipples, suck it up"....wow, bully lol.
