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 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 very good condition 2014 000-28K Authentic with stunning figured Koa all around. Only aesthetic issues are a bit of delamination rub on either side of the fretboard by the nut from a stand it was kept in with the previous owner. Close ups coming. Ask for detailed pictures. This is a good price for this build.
Includes original Authentic style hardshell case.
