Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Martin’s Custom Shop 28 Style combines a VTS-treated Italian Alpine spruce top with wild-grain East Indian rosewood back and sides in a right-handed dreadnought. Forward-shifted X bracing supports the top, while the low-profile genuine-mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, and 1.75-inch bone nut define the playing layout. For amplified sessions, the built-in L.R. Baggs Anthem system blends microphone and undersaddle elements, with controls on the unit for tone and volume. A hardshell case accompanies the guitar for transport.
