NGD: Martin Custom 00028
Thanks very much for all the advice in my last two threads. I’m pleased to say I am now the proud owner of a 00028.
This is a 1996 12 fret 00028. From what I gather the specs are near identical to the 00028vs, although I believe this was built before those guitars went into production so it just goes by 00028 Custom on the spec sheet. The neck is very chunky but I like it a lot, I’m making fewer mistakes when playing. It plays beautifully and it has the tone I was hunting after but couldn’t describe. This guitar makes me want to improve as a guitarist - it excels when fingerpicked, but I’ve got a lot to learn when it comes to fingerpicking. I’m hoping by this time next year I’ll be able to do the guitar more justice.  In the meantime here’s a few photos and a video of one of my own songs (please forgive the mistakes at the start!). Really beautiful rosewood back and sides and the spruce top has aged wonderfully. I’m delighted and I am sure that this guitar will spend at least another 25 years with me.

Nice score! Its a beauty and sounds as good as it looks.
The best part about playing your own songs is that no one has to know you made a mistake but you, as far as the rest of the world knows, you nailed it.

It’s in remarkable condition for its age, clearly a very careful previous owner.

beautiful guitar right there! Can't go wrong with that one. Even if it does need a neck reset at some point, totally worth it.
