Sonic Evaluation


One can't help but fall in love with at least half a dozen guitars per day at minimum when working at a place like Wildwood Guitars, but this Custom Shop 000-28VS has me contemplating guitar monogamy! If you like rich, sweet Martin tone and touch-sensitive guitars, you'll likely find big 'ol hearts dancing in your eyes, too. Two things leap out at you when you first sit down with this serial: its vast dynamic range, and its stunningly lush, expansive tone. It sounds like a wooden grand piano!

First things first: this serial is so unbelievably responsive that if a baby breathed on the strings while you were fretting an E chord, it would ring out at a solid mezzo forte. At softer volumes, it has an uncommon amount of overtone presence, and it still has a natural reverberance (perhaps because of the 12-fret construction) that makes you feel like you're in your own little world of sound. The effect is only enhanced as you play louder--and believe you me, this thing can get L O U D--as more and more golden and purple-hued overtones pop out of the top. The lows are deep and expansive, the midrange is vocal and sweet, and the trebles sparkle like a diamond in the sun.

If you're looking for an expressive, rich-sounding Martin with a special talent for fingerstyle, this 000-28VS will probably make you contemplate musical monogamy, too!
