Martin - 1962 000-28C Nylon Acoustic - Spruce and Brazilian Rosewood w/HSC - VINTAGE
The 1962 Martin 000-28C is a rare and highly collectible piece of C.F. Martin history, representing the company’s crossover into nylon-string classical instruments during the folk revival of the early 1960s. Built on Martin’s classical-style 000 body platform, this instrument features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with highly prized, figured solid Brazilian rosewood for its back and sides. The classic grand auditorium body shape yields a wonderfully warm, balanced, and resonant voice with profound bass depth and rich, harmonically complex overtones. Delicate classical fan bracing allows the spruce top to vibrate freely, delivering a quick response and soft, articulate projection ideal for fingerstyle, folk, and classical arrangements.
Crafted with premium appointments typical of the 28-style series, this vintage model features elegant multi-ply body binding, a classic rosette, a mahogany neck with a wide classical nut width, and a rosewood bridge with a tie-block design. The Brazilian rosewood back and sides display stunning grain patterns that contribute both to its striking aesthetic presence and its lush, vintage tonal complexity. Preserved in impressive vintage condition and accompanied by a hardshell case, this 1962 000-28C offers collectors and players a rare chance to own a resonant piece of golden-era American guitar craftsmanship.
