Martin has introduced a pair of new vintage-inspired models. Derived from the company’s Authentic series, but offered at a lower price, the Custom Shop Expert D-28 1937 and Custom Shop Expert 000-28 1937 are built with Indian rosewood back and sides and Adirondack spruce tops, they feature hide glue construction, and many of the internal details found on Authentic series models. In this video, Martin’s Vice President of Product Management Fred Greene discusses these exciting new guitars, which are available exclusively through Martin Custom Shop dealers.
