{"product_id":"859382","title":"MARTIN [Summer Bonus Sale] [Staff Selection] 000-28 Standard #3027571","description":"The Martin 000-28, extremely popular among fingerstyle players, has evolved even further in 2025.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The 000-28 is a best-selling Martin model, boasting popularity on a par with the classic D-28 thanks to its balanced sound and excellent playability.\u003cbr\u003e It has a body size called 000 (triple O), which is slightly smaller than the dreadnought, the symbol of Martin acoustic guitars, and is made of spruce top and rosewood sides and back.\u003cbr\u003e The rosewood back and sides provide deep bass and brilliant treble, while the small body and short scale length create a well-balanced sound and excellent playability. While it lacks the punch of a dreadnought, this model offers a sweeter tone and excellent response, making it easy to play with fingerpicking.\u003cbr\u003e It is famously used by world-renowned musician Eric Clapton, making it an indispensable tool for musicians like him who excel at nuanced fingerstyle playing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e -Evolution of the 2025 model-\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The new 000-28 Standard, which pursues tradition and innovation, will be your partner in maximizing the joy of playing music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModel: 000-28(2025)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Top Material: Spruce\u003cbr\u003e Back and Side Material: East Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e Brace Material: Spruce\u003cbr\u003e Bracing: X Brace\u003cbr\u003e Brace Shape: GE-Scalloped\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Neck Material: Select Hardwood\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard and Bridge Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e Nut Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003e Neck Shape: GE Modified Low Oval\u003cbr\u003e Neck Taper: High Performance Taper\u003cbr\u003e Scale Length: 24.9 (632 mm)\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard Width at Nut: 1 3\/4(44.45mm)\u003cbr\u003e Bridge Style: GE Modern Belly- Drop in Saddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Rosette: Style 28 Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003e Binding: Antique White\u003cbr\u003e Top Inlay Material: Bold Herringbone\u003cbr\u003e Headplate Material: East Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e Headstock Shape: Solid with Square Taper and Diamond\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard Inlay Style: Diamond and Square Long\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Top Finish Top: Gloss\u003cbr\u003e Top Color: Aging Toner\u003cbr\u003e Back and Side Finish: Gloss\u003cbr\u003e Back and Sides Color: Natural\u003cbr\u003e Neck Color: Dark Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e Pickguard: Faux Tortoise\u003cbr\u003e Tuning Machines: Nickel Open Gear\u003cbr\u003e Electronics: None\u003cbr\u003e Case: Molded Hardshell","brand":"MARTIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43275632607345,"sku":"859382","price":3564.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/Selected_by_Staff__000-28_Standard__3027571_Martin_01.jpg?v=1779865132","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/products\/859382","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
