Martin 00028K Authentic 1921 VTS Solid Figured Koa Harptone Case

Based upon a pristine 1921 000-28K from the Martin Museum collection, this slotted head 12-fret is a completely faithful recreation of the original, featuring flamed Hawaiian koa top, back and sides, hide glue construction and a hand shaped neck without a truss rod. Martins new Vintage Tone System (VTS) is employed for the bracing.The new Martin Vintage Tone System (VTS) uses a unique recipe that is based on the historic torrefaction system. The VTS acts much like a time machine in which Martin can target certain time periods and age the top/braces to that era. This focused method allows Martins craftsmen and women to recreate not only the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar, but also reproduce the special tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.Model: 000-28K Authentic 1921Construction: Mahogany Blocks/Dovetail Neck Joint - Hide GlueBody Size: 000-12 FretTop: Solid Highly Figured KoaRosette: Style 28 (Authentic 1921)Top Bracing Pattern: Standard ``X`` Scalloped (Authentic Style) - Circa 1921Top Braces: VTS Solid Adirondack Spruce 1/4``Back Material: Solid Highly Figured KoaBack Purfling: 28 Style Zig Zag (Authentic)Side Material: Solid Highly Figured KoaEndpiece: Grained Ivoroid in a Narrow 1921 ShapeEndpiece Inlay: Black/Maple/Black FiberBinding: Grained IvoroidTop Inlay Style: Fine Herringbone (Authentic Style)Side Inlay: noneBack Inlay: Black/Maple/Black FiberNeck Material: Solid Genuine MahoganyNeck Shape: Authentic 1921 Barrel & Heel - No Truss RodNut Material: BoneHeadstock: Slotted/Square Slots/Diamond/1921 TaperHeadplate: Solid Madagascar RosewoodHeelcap: Grained IvoroidFingerboard Material: Solid Black EbonyScale Length: 25.4``Number Of Frets Clear: 12Number Of Frets Total: 20Fingerboard Width At Nut: 1-7/8``Fingerboard Width At 12th Fret: 2-5/16``Fingerboard Position Inlays: Diamonds & Squares - Short Pattern Golden EraFingerboard Binding: noneFinish Back & Sides: Vintage GlossFinish Top: Vintage GlossFinish Neck: Vintage GlossBridge Material: Solid Black EbonyBridge Style: Authentic Style Pyramid w/Long SaddleBridge String Spacing: 2-3/8``Saddle: 16`` Radius/Long BoneTuning Machines: Stew Mac Golden Age Bright Nickel 2515 Side Mounts w/Ivoroid KnobsRecommended Strings: Martin M535 Phosphor Bronze (Custom Light)Bridge & End Pins: Ivory Colored Poly w/Tortoise Colored DotsPickguard: Delmar Tortoise ColorCase: 535V HarptoneInterior Label: noneElectronics: none
