About This Guitar

Serial: 3083877

This Martin Custom Shop 28/45 Style Dreadnought combines an Adirondack spruce top with a Tone Shop-selected set of Wild Grain East Indian rosewood back and sides. The concept blends the traditional foundation of a Style 28 dreadnought with select Style 45 details, creating a custom build that feels familiar while standing apart visually.

The Adirondack spruce top is supported by forward-shifted, scalloped 5/16" Golden Era X-bracing, also made from Adirondack spruce and hand-shaped by Martin. Ambertone top with bold herringbone trim, antique white binding, and a Style 45 abalone rosette give the body a traditional but elevated presentation.

The Wild Grain East Indian rosewood continues onto the headplate, where a select abalone C.F. Martin block inlay adds another Style 45-inspired detail. The black ebony fingerboard features long Diamonds and Squares inlays in abalone.

A select hardwood neck uses a Modified V profile with High Performance Taper, a 25.4" scale, 16" fingerboard radius, and 1 3/4" bone nut. The 2 5/32" string spacing provides the familiar room expected from a modern Martin Custom Shop dreadnought.

A black ebony GE Modern Belly bridge, compensated bone saddle, bone bridge pins with paua accents, and Grover nickel Sta-Tite 18:1 tuners complete the build. A Martin 5-ply hardshell case and Custom Shop Credentials Book are included.
