Martin Guitar Build Overview
The Martin 00-28 Standard is a beautifully balanced small-body acoustic that delivers rich, complex tone in a comfortable and responsive package. Built with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, this guitar produces deep lows, sparkling highs, and lush harmonic overtones—hallmarks of the classic Style 28 sound.
The 00 body size offers a perfect blend of comfort and fullness, delivering more depth and headroom than a 0 while maintaining a controlled, intimate feel. This makes the 00-28 an excellent choice for fingerstyle players, recording, and musicians who want rosewood richness without the size of a dreadnought.
Featuring Martin’s Modified Low Oval neck profile and a 1 3/4" nut width, the 00-28 provides smooth playability with ideal string spacing. Traditional appointments such as herringbone trim, diamond & squares inlays, and aging toner give this guitar its timeless, vintage-inspired aesthetic.
Why the 00-28 Stands Out
The 00-28 delivers the iconic rosewood tone in a smaller, more comfortable body—making it one of the most versatile and overlooked models in the Martin lineup.
- 00 body size offers comfort with impressive tonal depth and balance
- Spruce top provides clarity, articulation, and dynamic range
- Rosewood back and sides add richness, sustain, and complex overtones
