The Martin 000-28 is one of the favourite acoustic guitars of Eric Clapton, and the basis for his own signature model he thinks so highly of it. That's praise indeed but the Martin 000-28 almost doesn't even need the endorsement such is its natural fame amongst guitarists. The Solid Sitka Spruce Top and Indian Rosewood back and sides give the 000-28 a rich and complex tone that is sweet and delicate when played quietly but with enough dynamic headroom to move a serious amount of air when given some energy. That means the Martin 000-28 affords you some of the most incredible acoustic guitar tones you are likely to ever hear. Nothing is spared in making this guitar an awesome example of one of the finest art forms in the music instrument business today: solid mahogany blocks, Boltaron binding and decorations, solid black ebony fingerboard, real bone nut.
Only one word can really describe the Martin 000-28: Legendary.
