Martin OM-28M"When we asked Rosanne to design the Martin Signature Edition guitar that would bear her name, we at Martin expected she would base it on the 00-18 Martin she used to play on the road or perhaps one of the Martin Dreadnoughts she keeps at home. We were wrong. Ever the independent, Rosanne decided on an OM and the guitar she created – the OM-28M Rosanne Cash Signature Edition – is the guitar she always wanted."
