Martin O'ahu™ HG-28 – A tribute to the golden era of Hawaiian music

The Martin O'ahu™ HG-28 is more than just a guitar – it is a musical journey back in time to the flourishing era of Hawaiian music in the 1920s and 30s. Inspired by the classic “Golden Era” models and the cultural fusion that led to the creation of the modern steel-string acoustic guitar, the HG-28 was crafted with extraordinary attention to detail.

Special features:
- Materials and sound: The body is made of solid, flamed Hawaiian koa wood, which not only looks great but also produces a warm, resonant sound that captures the essence of Hawaiian music.
- Design and comfort: With its comfortable body shape, the HG-28 offers excellent playing comfort for long sessions and an authentic playing experience reminiscent of the classic instruments of the 1920s.
- Heritage and inspiration: This guitar pays homage to the instruments that accompanied the boom in Hawaiian music and contributed significantly to the success of the dreadnought models.

The Martin O'ahu™ HG-28 is ideal for guitar enthusiasts who want to revive the vintage sound and culture of Hawaiian music. Be inspired by an instrument that breathes history and combines modern craftsmanship with traditional sounds.
