1956 Martin 000-28: gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood, fresh setup, voice wide open like the summer sky. We love getting vintage Martin pieces in like this 000, since it affords us the opportunity to compare newer guitars against their vintage predecessors. The breathy, opened up character waiting under the strings of this 000-28 is something to experience firsthand; the graceful string-to-string balance dovetails with a sweet spot setup for both flatpicks and fingertips.
The Sitka Spruce top has patinaed to a handsome amber, and the V neck carve feels familiar as an old friend’s embrace. Our repair team has just gone over this guitar from tailblock to tuners and given it a clean bill of health! This is a lovely opportunity to snag a piece of true vintage for yourself, our 1956 Martin 000-28. If you dig in a bit, this beauty sings out loud and clear; this ain’t the preacher’s daughter.
