Martin 000-28 NB Norman Blake 2006 Aged Natural Gloss

We offer this 2006 C.F. Martin signed and numbered 000-28 Norman Blake guitar, which is clean enough for a collector, but it sounds too good to keep in the case all the time.  This guitar has been gently played, never gigged, rarely seen a pick, and has always been kept humidified.  It is as stock as the day it left the Martin factory, with zero cracks, scratches, dents, or major flaws.  This guitar is extremely clean for a 12 year old guitar.

If you want a comfortable 12 fret rosewood Martin with the traditional 14 OM/000 fret body, this is the guitar to get. It has nuance, projection, resonance, volume, and balance throughout its voice.  6th string action at 12th fret is 3/32".  There is very faint signs of play on the fretboard, only visible under specific light angle. OHSC with key is included in sale.

This rare and playable model needs no introduction to the discerning Martin aficionado, and if you are looking at this listing, you surely know the quality and unique nature of this instrument.  However, I will cut and paste all the specs below.
