Experience the legendary Martin tone tailored for left-handed players with the Martin 000-28 Standard Auditorium Left-Handed Acoustic Guitar in Ambertone. This instrument isn't merely a mirrored version; it's a meticulously crafted guitar designed from the ground up to deliver exceptional sound and playability for southpaws.
Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, this auditorium-size guitar produces a crisp, balanced sound with clear, shimmering highs and tight, resonant lows. Its comfortable 24.9" scale length and smaller 000 body make it an ideal choice for fingerstyle players, songwriters, or anyone seeking a comfortable, articulate instrument for studio recording.
Key features that define its superior sound and feel:
- Golden Era Scalloped X-Bracing: Inspired by Martin's iconic vintage models, this spruce bracing pattern allows the solid top to resonate more freely, producing an airier sound with enhanced sustain and a quicker response. Notes feel like they float, offering extra shimmer for intricate fingerpicked passages and exceptional clarity in any recording or live setting.
- Modified Low-Oval Neck Profile with High-Performance Taper: Designed for ultimate comfort, this neck profile feels instantly familiar yet refined. It offers a relaxed grip, while the thinner, gently beveled fingerboard edges and precise string spacing at the nut reduce hand fatigue, making complex chords and extended playing sessions effortless. The high-performance taper ensures smooth, rapid movement across all 20 frets.
- Plek Precision Frets: Each fret is meticulously shaped and crowned using computer-guided Plek technology, ensuring a consistently level surface. This results in smooth, buzz-free chording, fast action, and confident string bending across the entire fretboard, allowing every note to ring out clean and true.
- Premium Tonewoods and Construction: Hand-selected Sitka spruce and East Indian rosewood are chosen not only for their beautiful sonic properties but also for their strength and longevity. The traditional dovetail neck joint and multi-stripe body binding contribute to the guitar's stability and resonance, promising decades of reliable performance.
Subtle Style 28 appointments, including a faux tortoise pickguard, add a nod to Martin's rich heritage, while modern comforts like a gloss body finish, satin neck finish, nickel open-gear tuners, bone nut, and compensated saddle ensure long-term reliability, tuning stability, and solid intonation. The modern belly bridge with smoother corners further enhances playing comfort.
Crafted in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, the Martin 000-28 Standard Auditorium Left-Handed Acoustic embodies nearly two centuries of acoustic mastery. It's built for serious musicians who demand heritage sound, modern comfort, and uncompromising quality in a left-handed instrument that truly fits.
