{"product_id":"2013-martin-00-28-custom-shop-authentic-3407","title":"2013 Martin 00-28 Custom-Shop “Authentic”","description":"If Martin were to design a 00-28 Authentic 1935 it might very well be designed just like this guitar.  It's a 2013 Custom Shop build and just about every bit as \"Authentic' as the company's other Authentic models.  We're talking hide glue, T-bar, under-finish pickguard, 30's bridge and spacing, 30's modified V neck carve with long volute, headstock stamp, and gloss finish; Waverly tuners, and fossil ivory nut, saddle, and pins.  Really light top bracing with GE style scalloping, high-grade red spruce top with gorgeous 30's style sunburst lacquer finish, and some great looking Madagascar rosewood back and sides.  Ivoroid bindings, pre-war style 28 herringbone, backstrip, purflings, and fingerboard inlays, and old style script logo decal. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe guitar sounds incredible, with a surprisingly big and open bass register, full bodied highs, and a mid range that's woody and rich.  It's a top-tier fingerstyle guitar and, like the best of them, takes to a flatpick beautifully.  Beyond that, it's just gorgeous, which makes you want to play it even more.  The 00 size and vintage neck carve and string spacing make for a real comfortable feel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe guitar is in excellent condition but for a small assortment of fine scratches and a few minor dings, the most noticeable of which is on the side of the headstock's front.   Set-up here at Folkway, the guitar plays beautifully, with a comfortably low fingerstyle action.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nA model we wish Martin would put into regular production.  If this one is any indication, we suspect it would be a good seller! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nWith original hardshell case","brand":"C.F.
