Martin Custom Shop 28 Style 0000/M Adirondack/Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood w/case 3053231

Built exclusively through the Martin Custom Shop for Tone Shop Guitars, this 28 Style 0000/M combines the expansive voice of the M/0000 platform with premium tonewoods and vintage-inspired appointments. Featuring a solid Adirondack spruce top paired with stunning wild grain East Indian rosewood back and sides, this custom build offers exceptional headroom, balance, and projection with the comfortable feel and responsiveness that make the 0000 body shape so versatile.

The large Grand Auditorium-style body delivers the power and fullness of a dreadnought while maintaining the articulation and tonal balance associated with smaller-bodied Martins. Forward-shifted Golden Era hand-shaped Adirondack bracing enhances responsiveness and openness, while the wild grain East Indian rosewood contributes deep lows, shimmering overtones, and rich harmonic complexity.

Finished with classic Style 28 appointments including herringbone top trim, Diamonds & Squares Long fingerboard inlays, ebony fingerboard and bridge, aging toner top, and vintage-style Grover Sta-Tite tuners, this Custom Shop model blends traditional Martin aesthetics with premium custom craftsmanship.
