Here for sale we have an absolutely stunning Martin 000-28 Acoustic Guitar in Gloss Natural finish. A dream guitar for many players, this instrument was made in Nazareth, USA in 2006 and features an all-solid construction comprising a Spruce top, Rosewood back and sides, Select Hardwood neck and 20 fret Ebony fingerboard with matching bridge. The body is double bound in Antique White, with multi-stripe top purfling and rosette along with a very handsome back strip in 'Post-War 25' pattern. The fingerboard is inlaid with the real Mother of Pearl in Martin's 'Long Pattern'.

The Select Hardwood neck plays exceptionally well, with what might be described as a 'rounded' profile that feels very comfortable in the hand and allows for effortless reach across the fretboard. The Ebony fingerboard is supremely pleasant under the fingers, and along with the Mother of Pearl inlays adds a real sense of luxury to the playing experience. The traditional 16" radius ensures a perfect balance between comfortable chord playing and practicality for fingerstyle and lead lines. The 000 body size sits very comfortably in the arms whilst providing a lively, resonant yet intimate playing experience that is very rewarding and inspiring.

The voice of the Martin 000-28 is nothing short of exquisite. Sitting comfortably between a Parlor and Dreadnought, the 000 body size is renowned for being supremely well-balanced. Lows are rich yet understated, the mid range is clear and the highs are bright and glistening. This all adds up to a beautiful and unmistakable tone that is equally at home as a solo instrument or as part of an ensemble. The all-solid construction ensures a beautiful resonance which delivers a wide and sensitive dynamic range, encompassing both elegant intricate passages and powerful chordal sections. An excellent example of one of Martin's finest instruments.

Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
