Details
Most popular Martin models, such as the OM-28, the D-18 and the D-45 have their roots in the 1930s. But for some reason, Martin never offered a 14-fret rosewood 00-size back then, but after playing this 00-28, which is based on the specs of the guitar that could have been, we have to ask, “Why not?”
This guitar has the same appointments as its larger sibling, the 000-28, which include solid Indian rosewood back and sides, solid Sitka spruce top, ebony fretboard and herringbone purfling.
The smaller body makes the 00-28 a comfortable guitar to play but it puts out a fuller, richer tone than you might expect from a guitar of its size. Martin may not have this model way back when, but we’re sure glad they’re doing it now.
This guitar includes Martin’s 2025 refreshed Standard Series features including GE (Golden Era) scalloped top bracing, as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series, a reimagined neck profile with a thinner fingerboard, and refined bridge and heel improve playability and aesthetics.
