Borges OM-28 - OM Acoustic Guitar
Here we have a powerhouse OM crafted from Mahogany and Adirondack by Julius Borges. The wide grain top has power to spare and the Mahogany body is immediate and punchy with a nice throaty growl. This is a modern guitar for those seeking the vintage voice without the vintage headaches.

Player Reviews:
"This is an extremely versatile OM that is light as a feather but strong and responsive. It has pre-war magic but crafted with Julius' extreme quality. Borges guitars are hard to come by and this is a gem." - Paul Heumiller
"This a copy of the classic Martin OM with a twist. It has the woods of the OM-18 and the trim of the OM-28. You won't find a better modern builder for these great guitars." - Al Petteway
