Martin Custom Shop Expert Authentic 000-28 1937
Based on the mythical pre-war 000-28's of Martin's 'Golden Era', the 1937 000-28 features a mix of traditional features with modern innovations. True to it's inspiration, there's an Adirondack spruce top with authentic tucked Adirondack bracing, genuine Mahogany V-profile neck, glued-in long bone saddle, an ultra-thin Nitrocellulose finish, open-back Waverly tuners and vintage-correct herringbone purfling. Indian Rosewood back-and-sides and an ebony fretboard and bridge give the 000-28 a rich, complex tone with a smooth, refined high-end and thunderous bass.
Martin fans have long requested an Authentic-style Martin guitar with modern truss rod, and the Custom Expert series finally delivers. This allows for easy adjustment of neck relief, giving players complete control over setup without sacrificing tone.
The 1937 000-28 is available in four finishes - Natural, Stage 1 Aged Natural, Ambertone or Stage 1 Aged Ambertone.
