The Authentic Series 1931 OM-28 VTS Orchestra Model Acoustic Guitar shares Martin's significant 14-fret neck Orchestra Model innovation, and is based on a rare 1931 OM-28 model originally owned by Mike Seeger. The specifications have been closely followed with the following exceptions: Madagascar rosewood replaces the rarer Brazilian rosewood, and it has a vintage gloss finish and torrefied Adirondack spruce top and braces, and Martin's Vintage Tone System (VTS) has been used to replicate the aged appearance and tonality of the 1931 original.
