The Martin 000-28 is one of the most iconic models in Martin’s lineup, trusted by generations of players for its versatility, tone, and timeless craftsmanship. Its Auditorium body size delivers a beautifully balanced voice across all six strings, making it equally suited for fingerstyle finesse or bold strumming. Handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the 000-28 offers deep bass, rich overtones, and exceptional resonance, perfectly balanced for any playing style. The satin neck with a Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and 24.9" scale length ensures unmatched comfort and effortless playability. Elegant details, like bold herringbone top inlay, antique white binding, an ebony bridge with bone pins, and an ebony fingerboard adorned with abalone diamond and square inlays, enhance its timeless design. Available in a variety of stunning gloss options, the 000-28 is a guitar you can trust to unleash the artist within.

Martin’s refreshed Standard Series for 2025 enhances tone, comfort, and style. Sitka spruce GE top bracing, as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series, delivers vintage-inspired tone and sustain, while updates like a reimagined neck profile, thinner fingerboard, and refined bridge and heel improve playability and aesthetics. Each guitar includes a hardshell case.
