Martin Custom Shop 000-28, designed by Ish Guitars with woods hand picked at the Martin factory. MSRP $6,187.85, we have the best builds AND best prices!
No, foolish mortal. Your feeble eyes do not deceive you. That is not figured marble or a vat of melted white chocolate. What we have here is a stunning example of the Martin Custom shop. Featuring an immersive Quilted Maple Body and Headcap, this goddess sings. Bright, articulate and fantastic projection for being a smaller acoustic that surely will only get better with age. Take the plunge and be ready for a lifetime of inspiration.
