Description

Edit description

The Martin 000-28B Norman Blake Signature Model is a meticulous tribute to the storied legacy of Norman Blake, one of America's most acclaimed acoustic guitarists. This exquisite steel-string acoustic guitar embodies the craftsmanship and tonal quality that Martin Guitars is renowned for, while showcasing the unique stylistic preferences of Blake himself. Perfect for fingerpickers and flatpickers alike, its compact 000 body size offers a balanced and articulate sound, ideal for both stage and studio settings.

Crafted with a solid Adirondack spruce top, the 000-28B delivers a rich, resonant tone that matures beautifully over time. The back and sides are made from premium East Indian rosewood, providing a warm, full-bodied sound with excellent projection. Its modified V neck shape and the shorter 24.9" scale length allow for comfortable playability, catering to intricate fingerstyle passages and dynamic strumming patterns.

The guitar's aesthetics are as impressive as its sound, featuring a vintage-inspired herringbone trim and a distinctive slotted headstock. Whether you're a seasoned performer or an avid collector, the Martin 000-28B Norman Blake Signature Model is a remarkable addition to any serious guitarist's arsenal, offering a harmonious blend of tradition and personal artistry.
