Martin 000-28

The Martin 000-28 is one of the most popular and versatile models in the Martin lineup, chosen by many guitarists for its rich, balanced, and harmonious sound.

With a more compact body compared to the D-28, the 000-28 delivers a well-balanced tone while still maintaining deep lows, crisp highs, and an extraordinary richness of nuances. Featuring a short 24.9” scale length, the 000-28 boasts a solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides.

This model is ideal for those looking for a guitar that excels in both fingerstyle and accompaniment, offering great dynamic response and comfortable playability.

Specifically, this guitar belongs to the Standard Series 2025, which has further refined the already exceptional Standard Series Reimagined models to offer even greater performance in terms of both sound and comfort.

The major innovation is the adoption of Golden Era bracing, previously reserved exclusively for Custom Shop models as well as the Modern Deluxe and Authentic series. This technical upgrade gives the instrument an even fuller and richer sound while maintaining the signature definition of Martin guitars.

Another improvement concerns the neck, which now features the Golden Era Modified “Low Oval” profile—thin at the lower frets for a more comfortable grip but progressively thicker as you move up the neck, enhancing overall ergonomics. The fingerboard is slightly thinner, mirroring the design of historic Pre-War Martin guitars, and has beveled edges for a more comfortable feel.

The bridge has also been redesigned, now adopting the Golden Era Modern Belly design, reminiscent of the bridges found on Pre-War Martin models.

Overall, the Martin Standard Series 2025 brings these instruments even closer to the brand’s traditional craftsmanship standards, offering guitars with an authentic character and improved playability.
