Martin Custom Shop 000-28 1937 Authentic Brazilian Rosewood Stage 1 Aging w/case 2989372

This Martin Custom Shop 000-28 brings pre-war Martin DNA into a modern player’s world with an ultra-limited Authentic-spec build using Brazilian rosewood. Inspired by the legendary 1937 models, it delivers that dry, articulate warmth and sparkling top end that only the best vintage 000s are known for — with the comfort and balance that makes the 000 body a fingerstyle favorite and a songwriter’s secret weapon.

An Adirondack spruce top with 1937 Authentic forward-shifted bracing and hide-glue construction gives this guitar immediacy, punch, and dynamic headroom, while the Stage 1 Aged finish recreates the subtle patina and played-in feel of a well-loved original. With only 28 instruments made worldwide, this is the kind of Custom Shop Martin that rarely surfaces — a collector-level build meant to be played daily and cherished for a lifetime.
