MARTIN [New specification] 000-28 STANDARD

In 2025, the 000-28 has evolved even further. By incorporating the same construction as the vintage 000-28, it delivers richer resonance and sustain. While retaining the traditional sound of the 000-28, it has been reborn as a more refined guitar that meets the needs of today's players and music scene.

The most significant improvements are the changes to the bracing, which is key to the tone of an acoustic guitar, and the neck shape, which directly affects playability.
The bracing style has been changed to the Golden Gill Shape GE-Scalloped X, which is used in the popular Modern Deluxe series, resulting in a fuller, more breathy tone and longer sustain.
The neck shape has been changed to the GE Modified Low Oval, which adds a vintage feel while minimizing the increase in mass. Furthermore, the fingerboard features a thin, smoothly chamfered Comfort Edge, and the string spacing at the nut has been improved for even better playability.

The key point is that, unlike the Authentic Series, which pursued vintage specifications, these guitars have been improved to meet modern, easy-to-use standards. Rather than simply returning to vintage, they pursued "easy-to-use, good sound" for the modern music scene, resulting in significant advances in both sound and playability.

The new 000-28 Standard, which pursues tradition and innovation, will be your partner in maximizing the joy of playing music.
