For Sale: SOLD! Martin Custom Shop 000-28V/Adirondack Top & 1/4” Golden Era Braces

[GlenGurian]

Martin Custom Shop 000-28V with Adirondack Grade 5-6 top and ¼” Adirondack Golden Era scalloped braces. Richly resonant with ringing highs, responds well to subtle fingerstyle play and hangs nicely with more aggressive blues and strumming (thanks to Adi top & bracing).

1 ¾” modified low profile neck (basically a soft V) with performing artist taper make this a joy to play anywhere on the neck.

Detailed photos and custom order invoice attached below.

Spec Notes:

*19A spec refers to forward-shifted bracing, but ultimately Martin luthiers are free to choose the final positioning of each brace, based upon flexing and tapping the top.

*I chose to spend my money on premium wood rather than vintage-style tuners. Comes with Chrome Ping tuners that deliver a respectable 18:1.

*Excellent+++++ condition. Could easily pass for mint with the exception of a VERY small nick from a string change (pic attached).

Asking $2699.00 + shipping (USA only). 5-star Reverb rating / Quick responder. Includes Geib Vintage Case.

Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for looking!

All PMs have been replied to. Thanks for your interest!

First (and last) price drop.

[GlenGurian]

Had a few PMs regarding the set-up...

The guitar is exactly as I received it from Martin's Custom Shop: Action is 5/64" at 12th fret. Plenty of saddle left should any modifications be required down the road.

Thanks again for looking!

Requested pic of saddle height...

Looking at the photos it appears there may be binding pulling loose on the back? The sixth photo from the top. The right hand side of the waist in the middle.

So many martins with this loose binding. They really should get on this.

[GlenGurian]

That's a nope. Binding is solid.
