Personal Thoughts:
The 000-28VS is one of Martin’s most loved 12-fret models — warm, open, balanced and deeply musical. This era of the Martin Vintage Series is held in very high regard, and for good reason: the tonewoods were consistently excellent, and the build philosophy was far more old-world Martin than modern production.
The 12-fret 000 body creates a richer, warmer midrange and sweeter low end compared to the 14-fret models, and the combination of Sitka spruce with East Indian rosewood gives that classic Martin voice — articulate trebles, lush mids, and beautifully rounded bass.
Fingerstyle players adore these. The wider nut width and shorter scale make it extremely comfortable for expressive fingerpicked work, while still being great for light flatpicking. It’s one of those guitars that rewards nuance — light touches, open voicings, harmonic detail.
A very classy, soulful acoustic with huge musicality — the kind of Martin that keeps getting better with age.
Condition Report:
Very good overall. Some minor marks and playwear are present, consistent with gentle use. Nothing structural or distracting — simply evidence of honest playing. Frets and hardware remain in excellent order. Supplied with its original Martin hard case.
