Martin 00-28vs > one week….wow!

[Ken Carr]

I played that very 00-28vs at Maple Street about three weeks ago for about 45 min. I wanted it soooo bad. It is a special guitar alright. The string spacing is perfect for fingerstyle tremmelo technique. The tone is superbly rich and sustains forever. It handles c-g-d-g-c-d tuning surprisingly well. I am glad that someone bought it who will appreciate it. Too bad I couldn't afford it myself. Congratulations.

Thank you, Ken! I appreciate the note! Awesome to get your thoughts on the 0028VS. That is really wonderful.

And yes, I can promise you two things - I'll wear that little beauty out! And, I'll be a Maple Street Guitars customer for life!

Thanks again!

Congrats on a nice guitar! I bought my lowden at maple street. Top notch shop for sure. A while back, I had an issue with something I bought there and was very impressed with how they handled it. That's how a guitar store should be run.

Did not get to play that one, but saw it listed on Maple Street’s website. It sold quickly, before I could get to Buckhead.

I bought a 000-28vs from them 1.5 years ago, and love it. Never would have thought the wider neck would play so nicely. It’s a great guitar. I bet yours is too.

Great music store.

Wow! Got fooled on this one. 2014 post extolling the virtues of a guitar that’s listed for sale in his signature....

Feel like I’m in a time warp.

I picked up a used 2009 00-28VS last year. I prefer the thicker neck and wider nut. It’s a wonderful instrument.

Any idea why they stopped making these? I’ve been wanting either the oo28vs or ooo28vs for like forever and I can’t seem to find them anymore at the local Martin distributor.
I don’t really want to get one sight unseen used either from reverb .. been buying guitars Long enough not to buy without trying .

[TRose]

They may have stopped making these because they could have been competing with the newer Authentic Series? At least that is what Ive read.

Oh ok which ones in the authentic series measures up to these, same 12 fret style?
