Description

The Custom Shop 000-28 1937 gives players the sonic superiority of Martin’s Authentic Series paired with the everyday reliability of a true workhorse guitar. Regarded as the cornerstone of performance, Martin’s highly prized 1937 models set the benchmark for generations of instruments that followed. This guitar features time-tested construction details like Authentic bracing, hide glue, cloth strip construction, and an adjustable truss rod—giving you the responsiveness of a vintage Auditorium model with the flexibility and resilience of a modern-day build.

The 000-28 1937 also features our proprietary Vintage Low Gloss process and is available in natural or vintage Ambertone burst finishes, along with your choice of our signature low-gloss look or the lightly aged Stage 1 finish. Inspired by vintage guitars that were rarely played but carefully preserved, Stage 1 offers the look of age—light checking and subtle character—without the heavy wear found on more distressed models. It bears the marks of time, not the scars of the road.

Available only at Custom Shop Expert Dealers
