It's impossible to be a cynic in a world where guitars as great as this Custom Shop OM-28 exist! It's one of those OMs that have no weaknesses. It's a delightful strummer because of its rich voice, plentiful headroom, and percussive, articulate attack, yet its responsiveness, touch sensitivity, and balance make it a marvelous fingerstyle guitar. The high end has just the right amount of brightness and presence, the midrange packs a surprising woody punch, and the low-end has a focused, piano-like boom. Across the board, it has excellent balance, and it has a superb blend of woody fundamental tones and rich, sweet overtones. If you're looking for an OM-28 that can do it all, check this serial out!
