The 000-28 is the Standard Series 000-14 fret guitar in East Indian rosewood under a spruce top, with Golden Era Scalloped X-bracing. It carries the Style 28 trim: bold herringbone around the top, antique white binding, heelcap and endpiece, a Style 28 multi-stripe rosette and abalone diamonds and squares in the long pattern on ebony. The neck is the Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval with a High-Performance Taper, a 1 3/4'' nut and a 24.9" scale.
There are three finishes, all gloss. Gloss has the Aging Toner top, Gloss 1933 Ambertone gives the spruce an amber colour across the whole top, and Gloss 1935 Sunburst shades it toward the edges. Our pick would be the 1933 Ambertone, which keeps the grain in full view while giving the herringbone and white binding a warmer top to sit against.
For mahogany on the same body, look at the 000-18. The 000-28 Modern Deluxe adds a VTS-treated European Red Spruce top and Liquidmetal pins, and the 00-28 is this guitar one size smaller.
