The Custom Shop 0-28 is a 0-14 Fret in East Indian rosewood with an Adirondack spruce top, hand-shaped GE-Scalloped Adirondack X-bracing, and Vintage Gloss on the body, the neck and the Aging Toner top. Martin credits the small body with deep bass and rich overtones.
Bold Herringbone surrounds the top, the binding is grained ivoroid, and the ebony board carries abalone Diamond & Square Long inlays. The neck is genuine mahogany in the GE Modified Low Oval shape with the High-Performance Taper, 1 3/4" at the nut on a 24.9" scale. Nut, saddle and bridge pins are bone.
For the same build in genuine mahogany with Old Style 18 trim, look at the Custom Shop 0-18. The 00-28 is the Standard Series rosewood 00, and the 5-28 Terz takes Style 28 to a 12-fret Size 5 in Terz tuning.
