C.F. Martin & Co. 000-28VS (1999) – Vintage Series 12-Fret Rosewood Auditorium – Collector’s Condition

This Martin 000-28VS 1999 — also searched as 00028VS 1999, Martin 000 28VS Vintage Series, or Martin 000-28VS acoustic — is a highly sought-after 12-fret orchestra model from Martin’s acclaimed Vintage Series, combining pre-war inspired specifications with exceptional craftsmanship and timeless rosewood tone.

Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, this 1999 000-28VS delivers a warm, open voice with deep bass, rich overtones, and sparkling trebles. The 12-fret 000 body shifts the bridge to the center of the lower bout, producing increased resonance, sustain, and a remarkably responsive tonal character. Its wider neck and generous string spacing make it a favorite among fingerstyle players.

The guitar features scalloped X-bracing, a Modified V neck profile, herringbone top trim, slotted headstock, ebony fingerboard and bridge, and open-gear vintage-style tuners, capturing the elegance and feel of Martin’s legendary pre-war instruments.

This Martin 000-28VS (1999) is in perfect condition, presenting exceptionally well with virtually no signs of wear. A beautifully preserved example, it is a true collector’s item as well as an outstanding player.

Includes original Martin hardshell case.
