SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

Step back into Nazareth’s pre-war golden era with the Martin 000-28VS Vintage Series! Built around a 12-fret-to-the-body 000 design, this acoustic pairs a gloss spruce top—backed by scalloped X-bracing—with rich East Indian rosewood back and sides for massive warmth, airy overtone complexity, and incredible fingerstyle projection. The select hardwood neck joins the body via a traditional dovetail joint and features a vintage-correct Modified V profile, a generous 1 13/16" bone nut, and a 25.4" scale length. An ebony fingerboard adorned with abalone diamonds-and-squares inlays leads up to an elegant slotted headstock with an East Indian rosewood headplate and side-mount nickel tuners with butterbean knobs. Outfitted with classic pre-war appointments—including fine herringbone top inlay, grained ivoroid binding, a zig-zag back strip, and a drop-in long saddle pyramid ebony bridge—this 000-28VS delivers unmistakable vintage Martin soul and dynamic acoustic depth.
