Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
Super, super cool! While it's no longer standard spec, this 000 was hot-rodded at some point at the behest of the previous owner to bend this guitar's attitude more toward flatpicking. With a removed tongue brace, bigger frets, and upgraded Walrus Ivory nut/saddle, this little beast defies expectations of what a 000 can do--stunning!
Luthier Notes:
Tongue brace was removed, the truss rod access hole has been plugged but a ball end allen key will make truss rod adjustments possible, ebony side reinforcement strips have been installed, and this guitar has been refretted with Medium Jumbo Frets.

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.
