Description
Built in 1914, the Martin 000-28 predates both World Wars. Interestingly, this guitar’s neck has 20 frets, but Martin did not display this feature on style 28 guitars until its 1917 catalog. Other appointments include herringbone purfling surrounding the top and fretboard inlays at only the fifth, seventh, and ninth frets. Although the build is not heavy enough to support steel strings, its X-braced top is strong enough for silk and steel strings. The materials used to build this guitar—Adirondack spruce, Brazilian rosewood, Spanish cedar—are stunning.
