Default NGD! Martin Custom 0000-28 (Also first time posting)
I wouldn’t normally join a forum to to post a "NGD" but it was this very forum that helped me make this decision so I figured why not.

I have been playing for about 25 years and this is only the second acoustic I have purchased. The last one was 21 years ago so I wanted to make sure I chose wisely. I have a Dread and was looking for a smaller body guitar that was also well balanced. I was looking at 000 and OM style when a buddy of mine sent me a link the this Martin Custom Shop 0000-28 and after doing a lot of research here it seemed to fit the bill. I picked it up last night and cannot put it down. Its the most balanced, amazing sounding acoustic I have ever played. It is also a limited run of 50 guitars which is cool.

Here are a few pics! Thanks again to those who posted their experience with the 0000 body shape!

Welcome aboard, and that's a cool guitar! You're gonna love that thing - I have a 0000-28H, and it might be my favorite guitar. I've been playing mine a lot lately, and it never fails to wow me.
Congrats and enjoy it!

Congratulations! This is one fine Martin. Who says Indian rosewood can't be exciting! Love the headstock figuring as well. Enjoy.

Best,

Mac
