Martin Custom Shop D-28 Style Guatemalan Rosewood, Black Ebony Fingerboard, Natural (Aging Toner)
~Guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive~
This build represents one of our most hands-on Custom Shop Builds we have ever created!
*Hand-Picked Tonewoods
*Hand-Picked Necks
*Hand-Picked Neck Blocks
*Hand-Picked Rear Blocks
This Custom Shop D-28 model offers the finest tonewoods and the most resonant and light-weight Necks and internal components.
As one of Martin's worldwide Custom Shop Expert Dealers, we have unfettered access to the Martin Custom Shop and their incredible world-renowned wood reserves. 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.
Our team went directly to the Martin Custom Shop and hand-selected each set of Guatemalan Rosewood for these builds. To ensure the guitars reached the highest quality levels, Joe went back to the Custom Shop weeks later and hand-selected each neck, front and rear block. Hundreds of parts were inspected, weighed and sorted to find the finest examples of each component.
Guatemalan Rosewood is one of the most desired tonewoods in the world for guitarists and guitar makers. The booming tones of Guatemalan Rosewood are unmistakable. Slightly lighter and less dense than Honduran Rosewood, Guatemalan Rosewood offers huge bottom-end and incredible sustain. The top-end has chime with plenty of body.
Additionally, we chose scalloped Golden Era Bracing, so players will immediately notice the power, tone and responsiveness of the classic scalloped x-brace design.
Players demanding a premium classic Martin Dreadnought tone will find this Custom Shop D-28 a world-class option.
We are proud to include a full professional setup to factory spec before delivering your new Martin Guitar. Our world-class techs will dial in your guitar to make sure the playability is maximized on your new Martin!
