I am selling my friend's beautiful and unplayed Martin Custom Shop Authentic 000-28. The desire for an acoustic guitar can catch out the unwary electric player as the instruments are totally different to play and he was a victim!
However, you can be the beneficiary here as these are no longer available from Martin.
Barely used and in as new condition, a 2021 Martin Custom Shop Authentic 1937 000-28 in the low-gloss natural option finish.
This model replicates the exact construction of the venerable 1937 model but with an added truss rod to make it a usable modern guitar.
It features a Non V.T.S. Thin Adirondack Spruce (.110") top and beautiful East Indian Rosewood back and sides and construction elements to replicate the 1937 model including:
A Modified V 30s Style Heel with standard tapered neck, 1930 Style Belly with Glued in Long Saddle, a 2 5/16" bridge string spacing and 1 3/4" nut width, accurate vintage X bracing pattern with scalloped bracing and Waverly Nickel Open Back tuners.
From the Martin website, they describe this model so:
"The all-new Custom Shop 000-28 1937 rewards players with the sonic superiority of Martin’s Authentic Series and the everyday practicality of a workhorse guitar. Regarded as the cornerstone of performance, Martin’s highly prized 1937 models set the benchmark for generations of instruments that followed. This guitar sports time-tested features like Authentic bracing, hide glue and cloth strip construction, and an adjustable truss rod which gives enthusiasts the day-in, day-out reliability of an instrument that travels well AND responds to seasonal adjustments as it matures. With the all-new Custom Shop 000-28 1937 the stars have aligned again.
Visually, this Model takes advantage of our proprietary Vintage Low Gloss process with a selection of craft-quality finishes. It is available in a natural or vintage Ambertone burst finish AND your preference of our proprietary low-gloss or the new Stage 1 lightly aged finish. Lacking the heavy wear and tear of an instrument that’s seen considerable use, the Stage 1 finish with light cracking and crazing is inspired by those rare vintage instruments that were simply kept in the case and tucked away for decades. Our Stage 1 finish bears the marks of time but not the battle scars common on many vintage re-creations."
This guitar comes with unfitted end-pin and Martin hard case with key. It is basically unplayed. My friend has asked me to sell it for him and he is an electric player - as he discovered subsequent to this purchase!
So this is almost mint and was purchased by him new in 2023 from GuitarGuitar.
It also sounds fantastic. Unlike my friend, I do like acoustics and have Martins myself and this one is really great - open and loud with a zing and sparkle but plenty of controlled bass which makes you wonder why you would want the hefty size of a Dreadnought.
