Martin 000-28 Modern Deluxe -- Like New Condition

A pristine example of one of Martin's most refined production guitars, being sold by a hobbyist who plays fingerstyle only. This guitar was never gigged, never traveled, never stored without a case. Kept in a humidified environment. Letting go because I have too many and this one deserves a player.

WHY THIS GUITAR:

The Modern Deluxe Series represents Martin at the intersection of vintage craft and modern playability. The Adirondack spruce bracing -- historically used in pre-war Martins and dramatically more stiff and resonant than Sitka bracing -- gives this guitar a piano-like response, wide dynamic range, and complex overtones that a Standard Series 000-28 simply cannot match. Hot hide glue construction allows the top and braces to vibrate more freely, producing the woody, open resonance that fingerstyle players and recording musicians seek.

The 000 body is ideal for fingerpicking, recording, or quiet practice rooms. It balances beautifully on the knee and responds to the lightest touch. This is the guitar you reach for when precision and nuance matter more than projection.
