Martin Custom Shop 000 Size 28 Style Guatemalan Rosewood with Engelmann Spruce Top
Martin Custom 000-28 Guatemalan Rosewood
Truetone Music was invited to Nazareth, PA for a very special visit. We had the chance to spec out a few guitars to be custom built by Martin. We we were also thrilled by the prospect of being able to hand select our own exotic wood at the factory, aided by Custom Shop representatives and tonewood experts.
We knew we wanted to represent an interesting variety as far as models and exotic woods, but we also wanted the guitars to sound as best they could, never sacrificing tone for bling!
This Martin Custom Shop version of a 000-28 with Guatemalan Rosewood is a true example of that theory coming together in the best possible way. The rosewood back and sides of the guitar are what you notice first, with stunning swirly grain and a beautiful dividing Sapwood strip down the center of the back. The look of the guitar itself would be enough, but the materials, construction and appointments make it all the more special.
Guatemalan rosewood is known to be among the most comparable tonewoods to Brazilian rosewood. It is slightly lighter and less dense, making it perfect for a smaller body guitar such as 000. It is rich and warm, with tons of sustain. This particular 000-28 was matched with an amazing Engelmann Spruce top, which we also hand-selected while at the Custom Shop. It’s complexion, slightly brighter and creamier than Sitka Spruce, gives the guitar a striking lightness in contrast to the warm back and sides. Engelmann Spruce also yields a rich midrange, which gives the guitar a focused punch, especially while fingerpicking.
Even though the guitar was already going to be gorgeous, we decided to add Abalone diamonds and squares inlay to the black ebony fretboard, just to make it a bit more singular. The neck is Martin’s modified low oval with high performance taper, making it very comfortable to play for hours. The radius is 16” with a nut width of 1 3/4”. The guitar is finished in gloss with a satin finished neck. It comes with a Martin hard shell case and certificate of authenticity.
