Martin Guitars Custom Shop 000-28

Versatility Incarnate

Wildwoodians, we are proud to present this absolute all-terrain vehicle from our friends at Martin Custom! This Wildwood Spec 000-28 excels as a strummer and as a fingerstyle guitar, and it will handle business in a wide variety of musical contexts with great aplomb. The magic starts with the Adirondack spruce top, which gives this guitar oodles of headroom, plenty of volume, and superb articulation. Also, the top has undergone Martin's Vintage Tone System treatment. What's VTS, you ask? Well, it's a chemical process by which the wood is treated with heat to make it mimic the cellular structure of the wood in old Martins, which imparts a bit of old-school woody warmth to the guitar's tone. It also helps temper the massive overtone presence of the Madagascar rosewood back and sides, resulting in a balanced yet full-bodied tone that fills the room without sounding tubby. The only thing this musical ATV can't do is take a jump on a dirt track at 45 miles per hour (although you should film that if you try it!). We invite you to take it for a spin and enjoy the ride!
