Description

With a gorgeous glossed Sitka spruce top and siris back and sides, this solid wood 000-13E Road Series Auditorium model is a great-sounding guitar at an affordable price.

New to this model are stunning mother-of-pearl pattern fingerboard and rosette inlays, a multi-stripe rosette border and white binding. It has Martin’s high-performance neck taper for added comfort, as well as a Richlite fingerboard and bridge, gloss body and a hand-rubbed neck finish.

Also new to this model is Fishman MX-T electronics with a built-in soundhole tuner that auto mutes the audio output so you can tune up any time without using a pedal. This guitar comes with a softshell case so, it is road-ready to join you on all of your adventures.

Note: Due to supply chain issues from COVID-19, Martin cannot guarantee a faux tortoise pickguard. During this time, the guitar you receive may have a black pickguard. We apologize for this inconvenience and as soon as the supply chain issue is resolved, the faux tortoise pickguard will be standard again.

    I was looking for a high end guitar (Martin 00028). However, due to the fact that I'm not from US and the dollar exchange rate is trying to lead me to bankrupcy, I had to lower my expectations. I did a blind buy without having played this guitar. It was a risk I that I took and I'm glad that I did! This guitar is AMAZING. It stays in tune and has a wonderful sound! It's so confortable and fun to play! The sound is close to rosewood!

    Simply put, this is the best all-solid-wood acoustic I've played under $2000. The Performing Artist neck is very comfortable: it might be a bit more if it were slightly thinner, but it certainly isn't holding me back. This is the first guitar I've played with solid Siris back and sides, and I find the low end very reminiscent of rosewood, with slightly more midrange and a bit of an airier top end. The sound hole tuner is easy to use and works very well. I would more accurately rate this guitar at 4.5 stars: if the stock tuners had a little less play in them and it came with a true hardshell case instead of polyfoam, it would get 5 easily.

  • Great sound but unstable

    It sounds great when it is set up properly. The neck wood is not strong enough to make it stable. It needs to adjust truss rod often to get the buzz out and make the sound good. Cannot completely get rid of A string 11 and 12 frates buzz.

    What are the blemishes on the "blemished" model? Thank you.

    Unfortunately additional pictures are unavailable. Blemishes are slight and do not affect the tone or play ability of the instrument.
