A perfect replica, the Martin 000-28K captures every detail of the original 1921 model -- from its koa top, back, and sides, to its hand-shaped neck.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Black ebony fretboard Smooth and fast playing, bright tone
Hawaiian koa top/back/sides Bright tone; mellows well over time
Herringbone top inlay Enhanced beauty; vintage build aesthetic
Solid black ebony bridge Bright, hard and strong; full sustain

Based on a pristine 1921 000-28K from the Martin Museum collection, this second new addition features a slotted head 12-fret neck and is a completely faithful recreation of the original, featuring heavily flamed Hawaiian koa top, back and sides, hide glue construction and a hand -shaped neck without a truss rod.

This 12-fret model is believed to have originally been built for the Hawaiian market and X-rays confirmed that the original model had no truss rod, which has been replicated in this model. Also, the neck barrel, heel, diamond, head taper, and slots are all replicated from the 1921 model. The tuning machines are replicas of the original golden age nickel tuners. Aging toner is used on the entire body and neck to give it that authentic finish. The model is offered with Martin Silk and Steel strings.
