Overview

Rare tonewood combination and VTS torrefaction process give this a unique, vintage vibe sure to please.

This Custom 000-28 VTS Auditorium features a classic styling with its tight-waisted body shape, with the unique marriage of high altitude Swiss spruce (premium European certified) top and a body of wild grain East Indian rosewood. The top has also been treated to Martin's Vintage Tone System, a unique recipe that is based on the historic torrefaction system that allows Martin to target certain time periods and age the top/braces to that era. This focused method allows Martin’s craftsmen and craftswomen to recreate not only the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar, but also reproduce the special tones previously reserved for vintage instruments. So this Custom model looks and sounds like it's been in your family for years. The non-catalyzed gloss finish has been hand-applied helping create its satin, broken-in appearance. Other delicious appointments include a dovetail neck joint, African Paduak top and back binding, a low-profile neck, standard black ebony belly bridge, mother-of-pearl OOO40S Mark Knopfler rosette, Style 28 purling with D-18 strip on either side and mother-of-pearl GPCPA2 diamond fretboard inlays. All in all, it's a beauty to behold.

Hardshell case included.
