Martin 000-28 Brooke Ligertwood

The 2023 Martin 000-28 Brooke Ligertwood Signature Edition is an exceptional special-edition model developed in collaboration with New Zealand Grammy Award winner Brooke Ligertwood. It is based on the legendary Martin 000-28, enhanced with premium features and classic vintage elements inspired, among other things, by the well-known signature models of Eric Clapton and Paul Simon.

Sonically, the guitar impresses with a VTS-treated Sitka spruce top combined with East Indian rosewood for the back and sides. The Vintage Tone System ensures a particularly fast and open response and gives the instrument a mature, well-played-in character right out of the factory. The compact 000 body shape delivers a balanced tone with excellent dynamics and clarity, making it equally suited for fingerstyle and strumming.

Visually, too, this model ranks among the most extraordinary modern Martin guitars. The classic sunburst finish harmonizes beautifully with the multi-layer maple binding, the intricately designed abalone rosette, and the “Diamonds and Squares” abalone fretboard inlays. The signature inlay at the 20th fret rounds out the exclusive look.

The guitar is equipped with a high-quality LR Baggs Anthem pickup system. The combination of a microphone and a piezo pickup captures the acoustic character very naturally and dynamically, making the guitar ideal for both stage and studio use.

It is in absolutely like-new condition. The frets are also in like-new condition. There is only one small dent in the top, located on the right side above the soundboard, near the binding.

We carefully set up every guitar. We adjust the neck radius and string action to ensure that the guitar plays cleanly, comfortably, and without buzzing across the entire fretboard.

The string action is 2.7 mm on the low E string and 2.1 mm on the high e string, measured at the 12th fret.
