Up for sale is an outstanding 2014 Jimmy Edmunds OM-28, built in Galax, Virginia by one of the finest small-shop luthiers working today. Jimmy Edmunds is highly respected for his deep understanding of pre-war Martin designs, his masterful top voicing, and his clean, elegant craftsmanship. This guitar shows exactly why his instruments are so sought after.

Premium Tonewoods

This OM-28 features a top-tier tonewood pairing:

• Brazilian rosewood back and sides – glassy, rich, harmonically complex, and beautifully figured
• Adirondack spruce top – stiff, lively, and full of dynamic headroom, perfectly voiced for an OM

This is wood selection normally reserved for high-end boutique builds.

Luthier Excellence

Jimmy Edmunds’ guitars are known for:

• Extremely responsive top voicing
• Lightweight builds with strong pre-war character
• Clean and traditional fit and finish
• A tonal and structural philosophy rooted in Appalachian lutherie and golden-era Martins

These guitars rarely come up for sale because players tend to keep them.

Perfect OM-28 Tone

This instrument captures the iconic OM-28 voice:

• Clear, ringing trebles
• Sweet, articulate mids
• Tight, focused low end
• Excellent balance and string separation
• Quick response with great sustain

It’s a fantastic guitar with absolutely classic OM-28 tonal characteristics — articulate, open, expressive, and inspiring.

Playability

Plays effortlessly with beautifully set low action:

• 0.060″ on the bass side at the 12th fret
• 0.040″ on the treble side at the 12th fret

Smooth, clean, and highly responsive under the fingers.

Additional Features

• Upper-side sound port for more direct and immersive player sound
• Beautifully figured pickguard, an elegant aesthetic touch
• Original hard case included

Condition & Repairs

• The bridge has been professionally re-glued. As a result, there is a very, very, very tiny bit of finish flaking along the top edge — purely cosmetic and extremely minimal.
• It also has one very professionally repaired top crack. It is tight, stable, and barely visible unless closely inspected.

Both repairs were done correctly and do not affect tone or structural integrity.

Summary

A superb boutique Jimmy Edmunds OM-28, built with Brazilian rosewood, Adirondack spruce, and exceptional craftsmanship. With a sound port, beautiful action, and the perfect OM-28 tonal profile, this instrument is resonant, articulate, and deeply musical — a truly inspiring guitar in every respect.
