Based upon a pristine 1921 000-28K from the Martin Museum collection, this slotted head 12-fret is a completely faithful recreation of the original, featuring flamed Hawaiian Koa top, back and sides, hide glue construction and a hand shaped neck without a truss rod. Martin’s new Vintage Tone System (VTS) is employed for the bracing.
Built the old way, with Hide Glue construction throughout, one piece genuine Mahogany neck and Adirondack Spruce scalloped braces with Martin’s VTS system. The VTS uses a unique recipe that is based on the historic torrefaction system. The VTS acts much like a time machine in which Martin can target certain time periods and age the braces to that era. This focused method allows Martin’s craftsmen and women to recreate not only the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar, but also reproduce the special tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.
This is a mint condition pre-owned 000-28K made near the end of 2015. Only alteration is a strap button that is properly installed in the heel of the neck.
Includes original deluxe Authentic hardshell case.
