The 00-28 traces its lineage to Martin's historic 00-size instruments, and the 00-28VS draws deliberately from the company's prewar vocabulary with a 12-fret body, slotted headstock, pyramid bridge, herringbone trim, and traditional dovetail neck joint. Built in 2008, this example pairs a spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides and an Aging Toner finish that reinforces its vintage-inspired appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 12-fret configuration is central to the character of the 00-28VS. By joining the neck to the body at the 12th fret, Martin uses proportions associated with its earlier steel-string designs, giving this guitar a different feel and response than a more contemporary 14-fret 00. Beneath the spruce top, scalloped X-bracing allows the compact soundboard to respond freely, while East Indian rosewood contributes harmonic richness, lingering overtones, and a broad tonal palette. Fine herringbone top inlay, grained ivoroid binding, a zig-zag back strip, and an abalone Diamonds and Squares Short Pattern fingerboard inlay provide the understated ornamentation traditionally associated with Style 28 instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eIts neck specifications further distinguish the 00-28VS from many modern acoustics. A generous 1.875\" bone nut and 2.3125\" fingerboard width at the 12th fret create substantial room for the fretting hand, while the 2.3125\" bridge string spacing gives the picking hand similarly generous separation. Combined with a short 24.9\" scale, ebony fingerboard, 20 frets, and slotted headstock with side-mounted tuners, the result is a traditional playing experience particularly well suited to fingerstyle technique, alternating-bass patterns, folk, blues, ragtime, and detailed solo acoustic arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eTonally, the 00-28VS is built around nuance rather than sheer dreadnought-scale power. Its smaller body can provide an immediate, articulate response, while the spruce-and-rosewood combination supplies enough harmonic complexity and low-end dimension to keep the instrument from sounding overly narrow or delicate. The ebony pyramid bridge, long bone saddle, and bone nut complete a largely traditional acoustic recipe with no onboard electronics between the instrument and the player. For someone drawn to vintage Martin design, wide string spacing, and the expressive qualities of a 12-fret 00, this 2008 00-28VS represents a thoughtfully traditional member of Martin's Vintage Series. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this guitar ships with a sturdy hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \/ Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrientation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right-Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Scalloped X-Bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutaway\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00-12 Fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aging Toner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack \u0026amp;
