Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Martin’s Custom Shop 28 Style pairs a right-handed dreadnought body with onboard L.R. Baggs Anthem electronics. Adirondack spruce tops the East Indian rosewood back and sides, supported by a forward-shifted scalloped Adirondack spruce X-brace. The mahogany Modified Low Oval neck has an ebony fingerboard, 25.4-inch scale, 1.75-inch bone nut and 20 frets. For plugged-in use, the system provides volume, blend, phase-switch and mic-level controls. Style 28 inlays and rosette, a gloss-with-aging-toner body and softshell case complete the package.
