Some guitars earn their place through sheer size and power, while others captivate through character, nuance, and a voice unlike anything else. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, the Martin 5-28 Terz brings back one of Martin’s most distinctive historical designs, answering long-standing demand for the return of this compact Size 5 model. With roots reaching back to the earliest days of Martin craftsmanship, this 12-fret instrument delivers a unique playing experience that is both inspiring and surprisingly versatile.
Designed specifically for Terz tuning, a minor third above standard pitch, the 5-28 produces a focused, bell-like voice filled with sparkle, articulation, and harmonic richness. Its compact body and short 21.38" scale length make it exceptionally comfortable to play, while the combination of a solid spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides provides remarkable depth and balance for an instrument of its size. Whether used as a songwriting companion, recording tool, travel guitar, or ensemble instrument, the 5-28 adds a distinctive sonic texture that stands apart from larger-bodied acoustics.
Style 28 appointments elevate the visual appeal with an Aging Toner gloss top, elegant mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays, antique white binding, and premium ebony appointments. Though optimized for Terz tuning, the guitar can also be tuned to standard pitch, offering even greater flexibility. Complete with a Martin hardshell case, the 5-28 Terz is a remarkable blend of historical tradition, premium craftsmanship, and creative inspiration.
