The Martin 000-28 is a legendary acoustic guitar. This is why.

[@Paul-mn8ql]

I love my 000-28 pure and simple. No pick up required!

[@andorrasrevenge1683]

I have a 2017 00-28 from 2017 and I am grateful everyday I get to play it.

[@houseofjesseworship]

Wonderful guitar! That Orangewood sounds really nice too!

[@charlesbledsoe535]

Thank you for honoring our King.

[@ekkuapo62]

I recently bought Martin 000-28 Brooke Ligertwood and it is the best acoustic I’ve ever played🫡

[@michaelbobson6375]

I got one too. I definitely prefer the 1 11/16 nut. Great with the old school Martin Original 80/20 lights. Best of luck with yours!

[@jeffbriggs4268]

My son told me that this is the model I needed about 5 years ago. A few months later, I bought one. It's a great guitar. As my fingers get stiffer due to the aging process, I play electric guitars more often but I always marvel about how great this guitar is when I play it. Great review of this fine instrument!

[@pathless951]

Beautiful martin 000 and name dropping He Lord, that earns a like in my books.

[@dennisreedy8200]

I Love my HD35 Martin That I bought new in 1979 The sound is amazing and it still looks brand new with the 3 piece Rosewood back and Blonde front it’s a real beauty

[@MayotheMaker]

That tone is giving me chills through my cell phone.

[@wttone]

That’s high praise!

[@gregwilkin6565]

Thank you for sharing. :) Just purchased a Martin OOO-28 today.

[@tommyfreeman671]

Yes to more acoustic content. I love it all!

[@Lalairu]

This and the 00015m are my dream guitars

[@ratwynd]

Owned a 000M a while ago and recently found a used 000-28 for a stupid price in need of some binding reglued. Work done, setup and cleaned, polished and fretboar/bridge oiled then new 12-48 phosphor bronze d'Addarios. She is a sweet sounding and awesome little instrument. I also play a OMC16e Ovangkol and a D35 as well as some others. Much more comfortable to play than my 'dreads.

[@robmiller3464]

I currently own a 2020 Martin OO-18. I play it daily for about 1 hour easily. It has opened up wonderfully and the Sitka top has turned such a beautiful aged color. It is a fabulous guitar and comfortable to play. Not much smaller than a OOO either.

[@ThePageNo1]

000-28EC adds a little extra, it's amazing

[@James-hi5ji]

I have a Martin OM 21 from 2015. Very similar to the “28.” It is simply the best acoustic guitar I have played. I love Martins! If you haven’t already, I recommend you take their factory tour in Nazareth, PA.

[@wademacphee3924]

Had a triple o i bought used around 1994. It was one year old when i bought it. Paid 900 bucks for it. It was practically brand new. no scratches or marks of any kind. Someday ill find another

[@Fred-ee8bg]

I currently own a modern deluxe 0M 28 w/Sitka with a beautiful book matched Rosewood back and sides. Sounds great. I just recently acquired a new OOOO Martin with Adirondacks top/sinker mahogany back/ sides. Body depth of an OM, like a m36 w/o the 3 piece back., phenomenal sound great overtones, highs and best clarity between the strings on paralleled on any of the guitars that I own. The OMI believe was the first 14 fret guitar made after the 12 fret original drug night. Has a very rich history in the Martin lineup, like you said, super versatile guitar. The best part of this video was your testimony for our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. And standing up for him, and being His.

[@Fred-ee8bg]

Miss type, not drug night but dreadnought

[@meka2229]

The orangewood sounds great

[@andrewhumphrey1047]

I played a Brooke Ligertwood 000-28 the other day. I’m a lefty and had to play it upside down. The sound jumps out of it. A great addition to the line. I’m consistently impressed with the 000-28 and the CEO 7

[@danielgannon9502]

Absolutely agree on both points.

[@BrianWMay]

I have to agree because my two guitars are a 000-28 and a CEO-7. How's that for a coincidence?

[@christthernikow274]

I owned a 000-28 Awesome guitar!

[@KC-blues]

I have a 0001-R that I am happy with. Martin stopped making it all a sudden.

[@tommc49]

Enjoyed your thorough review. After you mentioned the Anthem, I was hoping to hear it vs. the mic sound.

[@bksoutside9777]

I bought a 000-28 today and I’m having an LR Baggs installed. I will get to pick it up in a few days. I’m looking forward to playing it. I have a 1995 SP000-R16 cutaway that will be hard to top though. We’ll see??

[@skyko]

Thank you for acknowledging our lord Jesus in this video! Not many musical channels do, which is a real shame. 😉

[@brockbarnes9795]

I was torn between the 000-28 and 000-18. While I tend to lean towards rosewood guitars, there is something about the mahogany of the 000-18 that won me over. So that’s the one I went with. The 000-18e retro. But both are outstanding.

[@williamlundrigan7209]

That brings up a good point. I forgot about the 18. I’m going to go play one before I order a 28. I’m curious about the tonal differences.

[@Creelyblades]

fun fact about the nomenclature an 18, 28, 42, 45. Those numbers come from what they actually cost at when they were introduced. Of course it didn’t take long before prices had to go up, and that was no longer the case, but they stuck with numbering scheme. I actually think an OOO 18 fits in a mix a little better.

[@EviMlcak]

Martin doesn't build many cut-aways. I love my GPC-16e. It's a 000 size. It sounds rich.

[@anthonyclegg1511]

Beautiful guitar, wish I could afford it., ❤️🎸.

[@KarlMetcalf]

Finally, somebody else said what I’ve been thinking… Martin’s are made in Nazareth, Pennsylvania and Jesus was Jesus of Nazareth!!! I love it!

[@MultiPricklyporcupin]

I have a fake (copy) 00028, that I love, but i find the strings are a little tight together for accirate finger picking. Is that a feature on the real 00028?

[@genoark]

Amen!

Thanks for the great video Brian, and I'm really sorry to be a killjoy, but I don't think you have Wonderwall down just yet-the 2nd chord is a G, not a Cadd9.

[@joeyschreiner]

Awesome video

[@MacLeod514]

Great video! Thank you!

[@wttone]

Thanks!

[@junebug7667]

Hi, thanks for the review. Would this guitar be suitable as your primary guitar for worship leading at church? Or would you be better off going with the dreadnaught? Thanks.

[@cricklekid]

Very helpful video, thanks Brian. p.s. What year is that Martin 000-28? Thanks.

[@LaJewel]

Jimmy Buffett says this is his personal favorite giutar - he says it's his "room guitar" - he takes it on the road to play in his hotel room

[@schzacj]

I’d be really interested to see what you guys think about the Eastman OM’s. They have a ton of budget friendly options compared to Martin and hand built in China. They have a really good reputation but I’d be curious to hear your thoughts and comparison if you get the chance sometime.

[@wttone]

We’ve demo’d an Eastman J45 style acoustic on our Worship Tutorials channel. They’re really good. I (Brian) personally really love Eastman guitars - both the acoustics and electrics.

[@maplebones]

everyone is different. you'll need to play it.

[@user-finniw]

Could you let me know which work’s end credits scene you’re referring to? That way, I can help you find the song title more accurately.

[@dividedbytimestudios]

I got a Ambertone 000-28 this year, keep thinking it buzzes a lot when you get into it, but y’all’s does too, guess that’s just the small body buzz

[@RobinDaelman]

Is this one x bracing? I thought that was only in the 000-42 series

[@Explorer40mm]

Yes

[@girliedog]

I love my 000 28; its a jewel of an intimate instrument. Something easy to grab for guitar fixes all day long. My girl loves going to the synagog with me on Shabis.

[@beezesty]

Thank you so much for this demo. You don't talk much about the shorter scale length. I am undecided between the 000-28 and the OM-28 with longer scale length. I have mid-sized hands. How would you compare the two guitars?

[@ThorslundMusic]

Scale length affects the tone a lot as well as the feel of the strings. The OM will be brighter and project more. The OOO will have slinkier strings and a warmer tone. The bodies are identical.

[@MurdaMetz]

I’m debating on getting a Martin 000-28 or a yairi fym70ce , yairi has a slight skinnier neck width and a hair longer scale , Martin comes plekd while the yairi doesn’t , Hard decision.

[@Jeremiah-dv5mf]

lol that the exact type of guitar that was my first guitar I still have it and I went to the pawnshop to get a guitar and I saw a Martin and I didn’t know what I was looking at but when I bought it for 100 bucks I found out it was a Martin 000-28 from 1980 and it is in almost perfect condition and then I found out how much it cost to get one normally 😂 I was very blessed to get that guitar.

[@maplebones]

It might be a dog. There are plenty out there. I've played martins that I wouldn't pay $100 for. Every brand makes some duds that go on the market, and 9 out of 10 guitars spend their lives on a wall or in a closet so it doesn't matter.

[@piotrzakrzewski1612]

Beautiful guitar, what neck profile does it have ?

[@shabich817]

what kind of finish on the 000 28? is it nitro?

[@johnchaumont6234]

Serious question. What type of bone is used? Does it matter? Difference between bone & tusq. I may be way behind the 8 ball but have often wondered. Would appreciate helpful answer. Cheers, John Brisbane Australia. I own a Martin OM1 (2001) It has a solid spanish cedar neck, solid mahogany back & tusq nut & saddle.

[@brunolalanne9106]

Bone is usually cow bone. The unbleached one is supposed to be better. Imho, the best sound for acoustic guitars. One limit : its density can be uneven, which may be an issue with an electro guitar. That's why tusq was developped. Imho if you mainly play acoustic, try bone, if you mainly play electro keep tusq.

[@MayotheMaker]

D-35 and a 000-28 comparison! For us Martin fans:)

[@aemk6129]

And after that, let’s compare an SUV with a 2 door sedan…

[@MayotheMaker]

@@aemk6129 I take it you think there’s point in comparing them? Sarcasm aside, why is that?

[@MichaelMarkGuitar]

​@@MayotheMaker The D-35 is a dreadnought and also has different appointments, etc. than the 28 style guitars. If you wanted to compare the 000-28 with a dreadnought, the D-28 would be the most comparable. D, 000, OM, etc. indicates body shape; 28, 18, 35 etc. indicates style.

[@mikehopper1674]

Have you tried a k&k pure mini pickup?

[@wttone]

Yeah I've had several guitars with those pickups installed. In my opinion they're a lot better than a piezo, but not my favorite pickup.

[@chrisheaton5853]

Hey this guitar sounds amazing! I did hear buzz when ever the low e string was used however, via sample one. Is that just how the ooo-28 sounds, or maybe a one off?

[@maplebones]

The truss rod might be loose. Take it back.

[@razny11]

Try the Maton EM100 808 MEssiah

[@BrianWMay]

As for 'scalloped braces' depends which year. Mine is a 2008 and has straight bracing like that year's D-28. It is an absolutely beautiful guitar, I play mine just about every day. It sounds particularly good with Elixir Nanoweb 12-53s on it too.

[@bmitchellmusic]

It’s a good un 👌🏼

[@bobcabo4509]

[@erinjoy8338]

That’s beautiful!! Amazing tone. I recently got a ceo-7 after a year and a half of waiting since I’m a lefty, but I love it! Not sure if I should put anthem or sl in it though.

[@wttone]

I had a CEO-7 for years. I loved that guitar! I’m actually planning to get one again one of these days. I had a full Anthem system in mine, but either one would work great.

Praise our lord Christ Jesus. Love the 000-28 Martin guitar. The only thing I would replace is replace the bone saddle and pins with Fossil walrus Ivory saddle and fossil walrus jawbone bridge pins. I did this change with my Martin O-18. The tonal palette colours,flavors, harmonics, sustain and clarity. I also Installed a LR Baggs Anthem. Love the Martin guitar's.
