Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

Classic Martin!  The short scale and satin neck feel great--fast, comfortable playability that just urges you on.  The Sitka/Rosewood combination is rich and balanced with just enough scoop to the midrange to accentuate a surprisingly powerful bass register for a guitar of this size.  Fantastic for fingerstyle but certainly viable for strummers with not-too-heavy right hands and all manner of singer/songwriters in general looking for an instrument to accompany vocals.

SP Luthier Notes: Fret Ends, Setup

From Martin and Co.

Classic styling with a tight-waisted Auditorium body shape, the 000-28 has solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, a Sitka spruce top, polished gloss finish and a hand-fit dovetail neck joint. This model produces a rich and full-bodied tone, making it the ideal guitar for the intermediate and advanced player.
