Martin Custom Shop Expert 000-28 1937 #2829702 - natural vintage stage 1 aging

The MARTIN GUITAR Custom Shop Expert D-28 1937 #2829702 acoustic guitar rewards players with the sonic superiority of Martin’s Authentic Series and the everyday practicality of a workhorse guitar. Regarded as the cornerstone of performance, Martin’s highly prized 1937 models set the benchmark for generations of instruments that followed.
This guitar sports time-tested features like Authentic bracing, hide glue and cloth strip construction, and an adjustable truss rod which gives enthusiasts the day-in, day-out reliability of an instrument that travels well AND responds to seasonal adjustments as it matures. With the Custom Shop D-28 1937 the stars have aligned again.

Visually, this Model takes advantage of Martin's proprietary Vintage Low Gloss process with a selection of craft-quality finishes. It is available in a natural or vintage Ambertone burst finish AND your preference of low-gloss or Stage 1 lightly aged finish. Lacking the heavy wear and tear of an instrument that’s seen considerable use, the Stage 1 finish with light cracking and crazing is inspired by those rare vintage instruments that were simply kept in the case and tucked away for decades. Stage 1 finish bears the marks of time but not the battle scars common on many vintage re-creations.

Adirondack is considered as one of the best Spruce available. Lots of clarity, excellent projection and sweet midrange.

Indian Rosewood is one of the most popular and traditional guitar woods. It takes the basic sonic thumbprint of Mahogany (strong midrange) and expands it in both directions of bass and treble.
Rosewood sounds deeper in the low end and brighter/sparkly on the top end. It appears to be more scooped in the middle than mahogany.
