A Solid Martin

I've had this particular model [000-28] for about 10 years.  It's smaller/thinner body is comfortable and spits out a good, solid tone.  It quickly moved into the position of being my main acoustic, and I haven't regretted it since. If you prefer a 'lighter' sound, but still want that hint of Martin tone, this is a great buy if you can afford the price tag!

Try one before considering a Dread!

Overall:
Up until I ?discovered? hand-crafted custom and smaller-bodied guitars over the last 2 years, I?d only owned and played Dreads,  including 5 Martins. With respect to Martins, I find the combination of the 000 body size / and low profile neck on this 000-28 & the 00 size / and modified low oval neck on my 00-16DBR to be the two Martins that are the most comfortable for me to play (though I will never part with my ?74 D12-18 dread 12-string). Many like the mod V neck of the EC model. My 00-18V had that neck style but I found it difficult to play. The 000-28 isn?t as ?big? sounding as my HD-28 was, but unless you need the volume to cut through a Blue Grass mix, the sound and tone are ample, rich and silky. (You can always pop in a soundhole PU and play thru an amp in that case!). While finger-style playing seems better suited for this model, it?s no slouch in the flat-picking or rhythm/strumming department either. You owe it to yourself to try one, especially before you consider a Dread.

Nice guitar for the money.

If you are looking for the value point in the Martin line of small body guitars, this is it.  Versus what you might get in a Taylor at this price point, the appointments are pretty basic.  However, the woods, materials, and construction are 100 percent Martin quality -- no compromises in this area. Many compare this quitar to the 000-28ec (which I own).  This is somewhat valid, but if the 000 is a Toyota, the 000-28ec is a Lexus.  Same tone, but I find the 000-28ec to be more responsive.  In addition to responsiveness and appointments, there are a couple other differences between the models: neck shape (low oval vs. mod v) and nut/bridge width.  I don't think these differences affect the sound, but they do change the playability. All in all, I consider this guitar to be the least expensive "real" Martin small body guitar.  I think most any player would be pleased with it.

Acoustic guitar at its best. The warm, balanced tones and the smaller 000 shape are amazing. Although it is a bit expensive, this guitar is well worth the price.
