Martin 000-28 Standard Auditorium Acoustic Guitar Ambertone

The Martin 000-28 Standard Auditorium acoustic guitar is a testament to Martin's legacy of crafting exceptional acoustic instruments. This guitar seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary upgrades, delivering a balanced and articulate tone that's perfect for fingerstyle players and studio professionals. With its solid spruce and rosewood construction, the 000-28 captures the sought-after sound of vintage Martins, while its modern neck and Plek'd frets provide a playing experience as luxurious as its tone.

Golden Era Bracing and Refined Features for Enhanced Tone and Playability

Martin has refreshed its popular Standard Series lineup with subtle yet impactful refinements to enhance the look, tone, and playability of these iconic guitars. One of the key updates is Sitka spruce Golden Era (GE) top bracing, which offers a more vintage, breathy tone with enhanced sustain. The GE modified low oval neck profile maintains a comfortable feel while being optimized for vintage appeal. It's paired with playability enhancements like a thinner fingerboard with a gently beveled comfort edge and refined string spacing at the nut, while the new GE modern belly bridge features smoother, more comfortable corners.

Premium Tonewoods and Scalloped X-Bracing for a Rich, Complex Voice

The 000-28 is crafted with premium tonewoods, including a solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides. These materials give the guitar a rich, complex voice reminiscent of vintage Martins. Scalloped X-bracing optimizes the spruce top for articulate bass, sparkling treble, and singing sustain. Style 28 appointments like herringbone trim and abalone inlays grace the instrument with timeless elegance.

Modern Neck and Plek'd Frets for Effortless Playability

While the 000-28 has an old-school vibe, its modern neck and frets make playing a dream. The modified low-oval neck has an ergonomic taper for effortless fretting. Its ebony fingerboard hosts 20 Plek'd frets with precision spacing and crowning. This computer-guided fretwork creates an even playing surface for bend-free solos and buzz-free chording across the neck.

Balanced Tone and Ergonomic Playability Ideal for Studio and Stage

With its balanced, detailed tone and ergonomic playability, the 000-28 is ideal for both studio use and live performance. The smaller 000 body has focused overtones that won't overpower a mix, while solid woods provide enough warmth and depth to stand on their own. Crisp treble and tight bass give the guitar articulation and definition perfect for fingerpicking or light strumming. Easy playability allows for complex parts to be captured quickly and accurately.
