Martin Custom Shop 00 28 Style Adirondack / Figured Black Walnut Overview

This Martin Custom Shop 00 28 Style build pairs a smaller 00 body with a high-end, carefully selected tonewood combination. The Adirondack spruce top provides strong headroom and quick response, while the exceptionally figured black walnut back and sides offer a focused, dry low end with clear note separation. The 00 body size keeps the feel compact and comfortable, with a balanced, articulate voice that suits fingerstyle and lighter touch playing especially well.

Built with scalloped Adirondack bracing and a shorter 24.9" scale length, this guitar has a responsive, open character with a slightly softer feel under the hands. The GE Modified Low Oval neck keeps things familiar and easy to play, while custom touches like the figured walnut and abalone inlays give it a distinct visual identity within a traditional 28-style framework.
