1962 Martin 000-28C

Serial # 186981. Built at the height of the Folk boom of the early 1960's,the 000-28 was the largest and most expensive gut-string guitar Martin wouldever offer. Only 560 of these guitars were built in total, and today the000-28C (or earlier G) are the most collectable post-war gut-strung Martins(and the only 12-fret 000 size production instruments of the era). Thisguitar is in extra-fine condition, with very little signs of use. It has arepaired 3" long crack on the back, and a small finish chip in front of thebridge from an earlier reglue. The action and set up are very nice, and theguitar plays quite comfortably. As the only 12 fret 000-size postwarMartins, it is not uncommon to see these instruments converted into steelstring guitars. This unconverted example has a lovely intimate tone and asoft touch.
