AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
PRE-ORDER - This incredible limited edition Martin Custom Shop Expert guitar is limited to 50 models worldwide, and only 1 is available in Australia! This heirloom instrument is due to land in November 2025.
The Martin Custom Shop 000-28 1937 Madagascar Rosewood brings vintage soul and modern craftsmanship together in stunning fashion. Built with an Adirondack spruce top and rare Madagascar rosewood back and sides, this limited-run model is a tribute to the iconic pre-war 000 guitars that defined acoustic excellence. Featuring Authentic 1937 forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing, hide glue construction, and a dovetail neck joint, this guitar produces a rich, balanced tone with powerful projection and lush harmonic content.
This exclusive model is finished with Martin’s Stage 1 aged vintage gloss for a beautifully worn-in look and feel, complemented by tasteful appointments like bold herringbone top inlay, a faux tortoise pickguard, and antique white binding. The Modified V neck with 30s-style heel, ebony fretboard with abalone inlays, and aged Waverly tuners round out an instrument made for tone connoisseurs and collectors alike. Only 50 pieces available worldwide—each one a testament to tone, history, and Martin’s unmatched luthiery.
