Martin Custom Shop 0-28 - Natural

The Martin Custom Shop 0-28 is a premium Custom Shop interpretation of the classic 0-size body, built with hand-selected tonewoods and vintage-inspired appointments. It features a solid Adirondack spruce top with Aging Toner paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, delivering a warm, resonant voice with deep bass, rich overtones, and the focused clarity the 0 body size is known for.

Hand-shaped Golden Era scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance, sustain, and dynamic response, while the vintage gloss finish on both the body and neck gives the guitar a classic appearance and feel. The genuine mahogany neck features a GE Modified Low Oval profile and an ebony fingerboard with Diamond & Square Long inlays.

Style 28 appointments include grained ivoroid binding, bold herringbone top inlay, faux tortoise pickguard, nickel open-gear tuners, an ebony bridge with bone saddle, and a hardshell case. The guitar is offered without onboard electronics and is designed to deliver Custom Shop craftsmanship in a traditional 0-size acoustic.
