Martin Custom Shop 000-28 Adirondack – Mint with Original Case & Papers

Gorgeous Martin Custom 000-28 Adirondack in essentially mint condition. This guitar sounds and plays exactly as you’d expect from a premium Martin — rich, articulate, and full of character. Adirondack spruce top gives it that extra headroom and dynamic range that standard 000-28s don’t have. The East Indian Rosewood back and sides are simply gorgeous. The nut width at 1 3/4” (just like the non custom shop version) makes it really comfortable for fingerpicking.

Martin Custom Shop

Most pre-war Martins were built with Adirondack red spruce tops — prized for their dynamic range and headroom. This Custom Shop 000-28’s only deviations from a standard 000-28 are that Adirondack top and an upgraded Geib hardshell case. On a smaller-bodied guitar like the 000-28, that Adirondack top provides the extra ‘boost’ a standard, younger 000-28 might be lacking. You can really feel the difference when strumming with a pick — it is LOUD.”

Includes: original Martin hardshell case (burgundy interior, excellent condition) and all original paperwork.

One cosmetic note: There is a small “puck” mark on the headstock from the case lid closing on it the day I received it (bummer)— see photos. It can probably be fixed by a professional.

Everything else is pristine — frets, fretboard, top, back, sides, and binding all look great.
