Description

For the connoisseur and casual player alike, this comfortably sized Martin is structurally solid for silk and steel strings thanks to a 1990s restoration where it was rebraced with scalloped X-Bracing. These 0-28s are quite ornate with its herringbone trim and Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. It has a sweet tone and is surprisingly loud because of its deep body. If you are looking to add a smaller guitar to your stable, this piece of history is an excellent choice.
