Up for sale, a 1995 Martin Standard Series 000-28 in near-mint condition, complete with the original molded hardshell case and hangtag. One of Martin’s most enduringly popular body sizes, the Auditorium shape offers an ideal blend of warmth, nuance, and definition.

This particularly well-kept, crack-free 000-28 features an X-braced Sitka spruce top, East Indian rosewood back and sides, a mahogany neck with Martin's Modified Low Oval profile carve, and an ebony fingerboard and bridge. The bass register is taut and clear, while the plain strings have a round, singing quality with plenty of high treble sparkle. The midrange character is smooth and balanced, ideal for fingerpicking applications, and the Sitka top has had more than a quarter century to open up for a broad, relaxed sound. Weighing 4lbs 6oz, this 000-28 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and ideal action.
