Acoustic guitar at its best. The warm, balanced tones and the smaller 000 shape are amazing. Although it is a bit expensive, this guitar is well worth the price.

I couldn't imagine spending the last 54 years of my life without music, and, especially since l969, when I was blessed with my own 00028 Martin. It has overcome time, hardship, wive(s), random occurrences for overall joy, happiness, and self-expression. It is my BEST FRIEND!

Perfection is the best word for this guitar. From its shimmering sounds to its exquisite looks, it represents the highest level of the guitarmaker's art. I highly recommend it.

I had decided on a Gibson AJ but stopped at my local music store to check out a Clapton Martin 000-28. They happen to have a 000-28 and a Clapton signature. I couldn't stop playing them both. I felt that the 000-28 was better suited to me than the AJ. I also felt that while I would like to have the Clapton because "it is a Clapton" there weren't enough reasons to spend the additional dollars. They both sounded the same to me. My wife couldn't tell the difference when she back to the guitars. If you are looking for an acoustic blues guitar it is difficult to pass this one by.

Beautifully constructed auditorium guitar! 14 frets clear , 24.9 scale. I love its easy playability and warm, balanced tones. Not too loud but strong enough to fit my needs when I want to finger-pick, play blues or for smooth flat-picking. It doesn't have great volume but I don't need that because I play on my own at home. Don't need to change a thing on this guitar. It is an excellent addition to the other guitars I have including dreadnoughts and small bodies from Martin, Taylor and Larrivee.

I highly recommend this great Martin auditorium guitar if you are looking for a top-quality balanced sound and playability. Fingering this guitar may be hard or strange to some who aren't use to the smaller scale size or have for those who have larger sized fingers but it's a problem that can be very easily overcome in time and with practice.
