Yes... this.
Setting up a guitar isn't difficult, but it is a patient balancing act in which experience helps a lot.
If you want to try your own set ups then I'd recommend picking up a real cheap guitar to practice on rather than starting with a Martin OM28
If if you do the above and then what ToneControl has suggested, you’ll know more and be able to get some advice.
Id get something like this to get you measurements though

Loads of cheaper options to this, but you’d need to look into it.
As a rule, Martin guitars give of their best when played hard. i.e. Considerably more effort than required for electric guitar with light gauge strings.
What is Martin's recommended action at 12th fret? I've not come across it.
OK thanks
