Joined: June 2002 Posts: 6202 Location: Phoenix AZ | FS: MARTIN 000-28 NORMAN BLAKE CUSTOM New in 2005 this is my personal 000-28NB which was part of Martin Signature Series and I think they made about 200 of them. The amazing thing about this guitar is that it's basically 12-fret neck on a 14-fret OM body which puts the bridge right in the fat spot of the soundboard for an incredible tone. Wide neck, slothead, etc. etc. full details below. These guitars were not cheap and I had mine custom ordered from Elderly with a few "custom" features - G;oss neck and headstock, Individual nickel Waverly tuners. As such, the neck block stamp simply says "CUSTOM" for the model number but I will include the Martin shop sheet which lays out all the details. The guitar is 100% perfect as-new condition. Has never left my house and has ZERO marks on it and ZERO wear. Deluxe case is also 100% perfect as-new condition. Price is $4000. delivered to your front door in the 48 US States.      SPECS Body: 14 fret 000 Construction: Mahogany block dovetail Top: Adirondack spruce premium select, solid Bracing: 1/4 inch scalloped Adirondack spruce Bracing Pattern: Custom Top Binding: Grained Ivoroid Top Inlay: Fine herringbone Rosette: Style 28 B/W with herringbone Pickguard: Tortoise old style Back: East indian rosewood, solid Purfling: HD zig-zag Center Strip: Sitka spruce with CFM stamp Back Binding: Grained ivoroid Sides: East indian rosewood, solid End Piece: Grained ivoroid Neck Block: Mahogany Neck Block Stamp: Custom Neck: Mahogany modified V 30's style Headstock: Slotted square Truss Rod: Adjustable Heel Cap: Grained ivoroid Headplate: East indian rosewood Tuning machines: Waverly nickel slotted Fretboard: Black ebony Scale length: 24.8 inches Nut Width: 1-13/16 inch Frets Clear: 12 Total Frets: 19 Fretboard binding: none Fretboard inlays: Abalone diamonds and squares Neck finish: Gloss Body finish: Gloss Top finish: Gloss non-catalyzed with aging toner Nut: Bone Bridge: Back ebony vintage style Saddle: Bone with 16" radius Bridge pins: Fossilized mammoth Electronics: None Case: Martin deluxe Gieb style Please let me know if you have any questions. This is just an outstanding guitar and if you are a fan (as am I) of 12 fret wideneck slotheads, then you can't do much better than this. PM or Email me. THANKS | ||
