Martin has a long history of blending tradition with innovation, making it a long-established name in the acoustic guitar world and continuing to captivate the world with its sound . From gorgeous show models to ultra-vintage models and modern models crafted from the finest woods, Martin continues to captivate guitar enthusiasts. The 00-28 was released in 1873. It originally had a 12-fret joint, but in 2017 a 14-fret joint model was released. Its small size makes it easy to handle, and it is now a popular model among many guitar fans, especially women. The body top is made of spruce, and the sides and back are made of Indian rosewood. The neck has been redesigned with a 44.5mm nut and a high-performance taper that is thinner in the upper register, allowing for smooth playing across all notes. The scalloped bracing also enhances the sound and makes it easier for the body to resonate. Vintage touches such as herringbone trim, diamond square position marks, and a tortoise pattern pickguard create an appealing atmosphere, and the use of open-back tuners changes the head mass, contributing to a crisper sound. -Evolution of the 2025 model- -Evolution of the 2025 model- In 2025, the Standard Series has evolved even further. By incorporating vintage-era construction, the guitar delivers richer resonance and sustain. While maintaining its traditional sound, it has been reborn as a more refined guitar that meets the needs of today's players and music scene. The most significant improvements are the changes to the bracing, which is key to the tone of an acoustic guitar, and the neck shape, which directly affects playability. The bracing style has been changed to the Golden Gill Shape GE-Scalloped X, which is used in the popular Modern Deluxe series, resulting in a fuller, more breathy tone and longer sustain. The neck shape has been changed to the GE Modified Low Oval, which adds a vintage feel while minimizing the increase in mass. Furthermore, the fingerboard features a thin, smoothly chamfered Comfort Edge, and the string spacing at the nut has been improved for even better playability. The key point is that, unlike the Authentic Series, which pursued vintage specifications, these guitars have been improved to meet modern, easy-to-use standards. Rather than simply returning to vintage, they pursued "easy-to-use, good sound" for the modern music scene, resulting in significant advances in both sound and playability.Model: 00-28(2025) Top Material: Spruce Back and Side Material: East Indian Rosewood Brace Material: Spruce Bracing: X Brace Brace Shape: GE-Scalloped Neck Material: Select Hardwood Fingerboard and Bridge Material: Ebony Nut Material: Bone Neck Shape: GE Modified Low Oval Neck Taper: High Performance Taper Scale Length: 24.9 (632 mm) Fingerboard Width at Nut: 1 3/4(44.45mm) Bridge Style: GE Modern Belly- Drop in Saddle Rosette: Style 28 Multi-Stripe Binding: Antique White Top Inlay Material: Bold Herringbone Headplate Material: East Indian Rosewood Headstock Shape: Solid with Square Taper and Diamond Fingerboard Inlay Style: Diamond and Square Long Top Finish Top: Gloss Top Color: Aging Toner Back and Side Finish: Gloss Back and Sides Color: Natural Neck Color: Dark Mahogany Pickguard: Faux Tortoise Tuning Machines: Nickel Open Gear Electronics: None Case: Molded Hardshell Show more
