Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: A neck reset was performed prior to this guitar arriving to us. Various cracks present on the guitar have been repaired. Some areas of the finish was touched up. No further work was required.

The 1965 Martin 000-28 is a beautifully balanced vintage acoustic that delivers rich, articulate tone with timeless character. Its spruce top pairs effortlessly with Brazilian rosewood back and sides, creating a deep, complex voice with shimmering highs, warm lows, and remarkable clarity. The mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard offer a smooth, comfortable feel that makes every note feel connected and expressive. With its classic styling and naturally aged tone, it carries a sense of history that’s both inspiring and inviting. Open, resonant, and full of soul, this 000-28 offers a playing experience that feels truly special from the very first chord!
