Empire Music Owner Joe Ravita has hand-selected these specific wood sets and designed the instrument in conjunction with Martin Custom Shop Master Designer Jimmie Kleintop. The goal was to offer the finest sonic experience Martin has to offer with the highest quality wood sets on Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking one of Martin’s most famous models to the next level is one of our favorite ways to design a Martin Custom Shop guitar. This Custom Shop D-28 is a world-class example of this process!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdirondack tops are the soul of the most sought after vintage Martin guitars, so we couldn’t resist designing this model with the classic tonewood. The Adirondack top offers powerful and articulate tones with incredible range and character. Players will relish the power, head-room, clarity and classic Martin tone that the Adirondack delivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonduran Rosewood is one of the most sought-after woods in the world for guitarists and guitar makers. The complex tones that are derived from Honduran Rosewood are due to its dense makeup. Similar to Brazilian Rosewood in many ways, Honduran Rosewood provides incredible power, bass response, balance and overtones. While East Indian Rosewood is more woofy on the bottom end, Honduran Rosewood offers all of the bass and power with much more clarity and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe added the Honduran Rosewood to the traditional design of the D-28 with the Adirondack Spruce top. It’s a classic combination that thrives in all playing situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dreadnought design delivers huge tones for strummers and flatpickers alike. This Custom Model delivers definitive Martin Tone!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile tonewoods are always incredibly important when designing a Custom Shop guitar, it is a must that the bracing, scale length and other design specifications maximize the tonewood choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, we selected the Golden Era Bracing package on this design. This sought after design offers deeply scalloped braces that deliver huge tone, output and mature\/vintage vibes. Players will find that this guitar opens up with ease and complex tones are found at all levels of pick attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 25.4” standard scale design allows for a classic playing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe wanted to take this model to the next level, so we included all of the Golden Era touches–rolled fingerboard edges, Golden Era Bridge Plate, Authentic Fingerboard thickness and Authentic neck heel size. This Custom Shop D-28 is a true testament to Martin past and present!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSerial #: 2947195\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTop Material: Adirondack Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides Material: Honduran Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFingerboard Material: Black Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBinding Material: Antique White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBracing: Spruce, Scalloped, 5\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBridge Pins: Bone w\/ Faux Tortoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBridge Material: Black Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBridge Style: Golden Era Modern Belly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAdhesive: Modern Adhesive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eElectronics: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFingerboard Inlay: Syle 28 Mother of Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNut Width: 1 3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFinish Package: Gloss Body w\/ Satin Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHeadplate Decal: Old Style Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNeck Profile: Golden Era Modified Low Oval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRosette Style: Style 28 Boltaron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eScale Length: 25.4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTop Color: 1935 Sunburst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe are proud to include a full professional setup to factory spec before delivering your new Martin Guitar.
