~Guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive~
A 000-28 for players who prefer a 1 11/16" nut width and want a more responsive voice.
Highlights: 
1 11/16" nut width for a comfortable, fast-playing feel  
Thin Authentic-thickness top for enhanced responsiveness  
Hand-scalloped Golden Era bracing for increased openness and dynamic range  
Premium 5-ply Geib-style hardshell case  
Built on the foundation of the Martin 000-28 Standard, this Martin Custom Shop 000-28 Style combines the balance, comfort, and versatility of one of Martin's most beloved orchestra-sized guitars with a collection of thoughtful upgrades selected by the team at Empire Music. As one of only a small number of Martin Custom Expert Dealers, we've spent years designing custom guitars that enhance the playing experience without losing sight of what makes a great Martin special.
This guitar was designed for players who love the sound and feel of a 000-28 but prefer the comfort of a traditional 1 11/16" nut width. It delivers a familiar and effortless playing experience while preserving the balance, clarity, and versatility that have made the 000-28 a favorite among fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and flatpickers alike.
Beyond the neck, we've enhanced the guitar's responsiveness with a thin Authentic-thickness top and hand-scalloped Golden Era bracing—features that players have consistently gravitated toward in our Custom Shop designs. Together, these upgrades help the instrument respond more quickly to a lighter touch while producing greater openness, dynamic range, and harmonic complexity. The guitar retains the articulate voice, balanced response, and exceptional versatility of a traditional 000-28 while offering a livelier, more responsive, and more expressive playing experience.
Completing the build is a premium 5-ply Geib-style hardshell case, providing superior protection and a classic vintage-inspired presentation worthy of a Custom Shop instrument.
