The Martin 000-28, extremely popular among fingerstyle players, has evolved even further in 2025. The 000-28 is a best-selling Martin model, boasting popularity on a par with the c lassic D-28 thanks to its balanced sound and excellent playability. It has a body size called 000 (triple O), which is slightly smaller than the dreadnought, the symbol of Martin acoustic guitars, and is made of spruce top and rosewood sides and back. The rosewood back and sides provide deep bass and brilliant treble, while the small body and short scale length create a well-balanced sound and excellent playability. While it lacks the punch of a dreadnought, this model offers a sweeter tone and excellent response, making it easy to play with fingerpicking. It is famously used by world-renowned musician Eric Clapton, making it an indispensable tool for musicians like him who excel at nuanced fingerstyle playing. -Evolution of the 2025 model- In 2025, the 000-28 has evolved even further. By incorporating the same construction as the vintage 000-28, it delivers richer resonance and sustain. While retaining the traditional sound of the 000-28, 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. The new 000-28 Standard, which pursues tradition and innovation, will be your partner in maximizing the joy of playing music.Model: 000-28(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
