Martin 000-28, Gloss 1933 Ambertone 9452

Vintage-inspired Martin appointments

Every asset onboard the Martin 000-28 acoustic guitar enhances its impressively authentic playability and timeless yet classy appearance, from a vintage-inspired heel design to "Golden Era" top bracing. First, a look at the neck — it's made of select hardwood and features a GE Modified Low Oval profile for super-smooth navigation over every fret. Likewise, the supple 16-inch-radius ebony fingerboard with Diamond and Square Long inlays provides solid maneuverability while harkening back to the guitar's historic visual roots. It's all settled up with a true bone nut and compensated bone saddle combo, nickel hardware, and a gloss finish for a satisfying stage and studio appearance.

Standard series: revisiting timeless Martin tradition

Considering the storied history of Martin’s acoustic guitar engineering and building practices, there’s no question that the company’s iconic models stand firm as the backbone of American steel-string instrument design. With this sentiment top of mind, Martin presents the refreshed Standard series: a lineup dedicated to reviving the looks and tone of the brand’s golden-era vintage models while introducing a complex set of modern performance enhancements. The result is a comprehensive update to Martin’s most revered range of instruments, combining tonal authenticity with the comfort and versatility of a contemporary instrument. Across-the-board changes include remarkably responsive GE (Golden Era) bracing, thinner fingerboards with beveled edges, a slick vintage-style heel, angled nuts, and GE belly bridges equipped with bone or ebony bridge pins. What’s more, the refreshed standard series introduces a fresh new trio of Martin models back into the fold, including the iconic 000-17, D-17, and OM-45. Refreshed with a plethora of musician-requested features, the Standard series harnesses the power of these legendary acoustics and takes center stage once again.
