📖 Buyer's Guide
Original 1929-1933 OM-28s are extremely rare — fewer than 700 were made. These command prices well above $50,000 in excellent condition. The revived post-1990 models are excellent guitars but are an entirely different market. Look for repaired headstocks and top cracks on originals.
