A real dream guitar - this stunning Martin 000-28S 1960 is an exceptional instrument with a wonderfully balanced sound, a warm, clear vintage voice and excellent response.
This guitar was a special production at the time and was built in the style of the legendary pre-war Martin models from 1930/31. It features the coveted scalloped bracing, a sloped shoulder body shape and a classic 12-fret neck joint, combined with the characteristic Martin headstock design. This makes it a rare and unique piece in the history of Martin guitars.
The 000-28 has been one of Martin's most popular and influential models for decades. It is considered the perfect alternative to the dreadnought and, with its smaller body, offers more comfort without losing resonance and clarity. Compared to large-bodied guitars, the 000-28 delivers a more balanced sound with defined lows, brilliant highs and a warm, balanced midrange presence. Since its introduction in 1933, this model has inspired countless guitarists and manufacturers and has established itself as the benchmark for the versatile acoustic guitar. From Paul Simon's delicate fingerpicking to Eric Clapton's soulful blues sounds, the Martin 000-28 has shaped the sound of entire generations.
Made from the finest tonewoods, this guitar has a fine spruce top and stunningly beautiful rosewood back and sides. With a nut width of 45 mm, it offers comfortable playability. A professionally performed neck reset guarantees perfect playability across the entire fingerboard. Although the guitar shows some signs of use over the decades, all cracks have been professionally repaired, so that it is in excellent condition - stable, tonally unchanged and full of vintage charm.
This Martin 000-28S is an outstanding example of the timeless craftsmanship that has made Martin guitars legendary. With its warm, nuanced sound, powerful projection and impressive tonal balance, it is suitable both as an outstanding fingerstyle guitar and for studio recordings, where it impresses with its unique tonal depth and expressiveness.
The guitar comes with its original case, which further emphasizes its authenticity and historical significance.
