Default 000-28 (2018) my video take

The long-awaited makeover of the Standard Series 000-28 arrives.

The addition of scalloped bracing and Martin's High Performance neck bring this short-scale 000 into the 21st century, while returning the appearance to a pre-World War II aesthetic.



The written review will appear once I get through the major video production for the various new models.

Nicely done, Spoon. I think Martin is going to sell a ton of these. Great aesthetics, the best neck Martin makes (IMO), and short scale. WIN!

Nice refinements and responsive sound. I wonder if my GC 30 miles away would have any to sample? I wish the saddle was the good ol 2 3/16" though.
I wish they went up a 32cd not down. The H&D 2 7/32" is fast.

One of my students asked me to stop by a local shop and check one out for her. I was pretty blown away. It thought for sure it was one the Authentic series or something... I texted her to jump on it right away, but it turned in that someone that was listening as I tried it bought it right then. She was pretty bummed.

Pre war specs sweet. Another variant like the EC model featuring pre war stuff.
Bet they go for 3 or so. I so wanted a 000-28, ha now this!

Never had any interest in a 000-28 due to the bracing. The cheesy big round dots were a further deterrent. But, this looks like an entirely different animal. One of these may be in my future.

Thank you for the review, although the YouTube link isn’t working for me.

Sorry there was a technical issue with the video and I had to reload it.

Working now.
