Spruce and East Indian Rosewood for Balanced Projection

The 00-28 features a solid spruce top paired with a solid East Indian rosewood back and sides—a revered tonewood combination celebrated for its balance, projection and harmonic richness. The spruce top brings clarity and responsiveness to your playing, while the rosewood body delivers deep bass, sparkling highs and complex overtones. The smaller 00 body size provides a tight, articulate response, making it ideal for delicate fingerpicking or nuanced acoustic arrangements. Whether you're accompanying vocals or playing solo, the wood pairing on the 00-28 creates a tonal palette that's versatile, expressive and deeply resonant.

Scalloped Golden Era Bracing for Vintage Tone

Martin equips the 00-28 with 1/4" scalloped spruce X-bracing modeled after their Golden Era patterns—delivering a touch of vintage warmth and openness. This bracing design, inspired by historic Martin models from the pre-war era, enhances the guitar's dynamic response and sustain while allowing the top to vibrate more freely. The result is a lively, nuanced tone that reacts beautifully to both gentle picking and a stronger attack. Combined with the dovetail neck joint and premium all-solid tonewoods, the bracing helps unlock the full tonal potential of the instrument, offering a rich acoustic voice that will only get better with age.

Modified Low Oval Neck for Comfort and Speed

To ensure smooth playability across the entire neck, Martin has outfitted the 00-28 with a GE modified low oval profile and high-performance taper. This comfortable carve fits naturally in the hand and facilitates faster movement, making it ideal for players who alternate between rhythm and lead styles. The neck is constructed from select hardwood and features a satin finish for a fast, silky feel. A 24.9" scale length and 1-3/4" deliver optimal string tension and ideal string spacing for fingerstyle players, while still accommodating strummers and flatpickers with ease. Every detail is crafted for comfort without compromising tone.

Classic Martin Appointments With a Modern Touch

The 00-28 blends vintage styling with modern precision. Bold herringbone top inlay and antique white binding lend a traditional aesthetic, while the ebony bridge and fingerboard enhance tone and durability. Abalone diamond-and-square inlays add a refined look to the fingerboard, and nickel open-gear tuners provide accurate tuning stability with old-school charm. Each guitar is Plek'd for optimal playability, ensuring every note rings clear and true. A faux tortoiseshell pickguard completes the vintage-inspired visual package, while bone bridge pins, saddle and nut provide excellent tonal transfer. Every detail reflects Martin's commitment to building heirloom-quality instruments.
