Each guitar parts from Martin and registered on Martin inventory as OO28 Converted. Conversion made by MFG in Naples Florida. Documentation available for this jewl totally Martin. A very good investment and terrific Sound. Mint Condition, an execeptional conversion using crackfree Martin 0028G  from 1958 and turning it into a Martin 00-28 steel string, performed by martin. It is mean has neen turned bfrom a 12 frets nylon into a 14 frets flattop X braces steelstring. The Brazilian Rosewood is pre-cities, with a typical spider cut. It is a monster guitar equally for strumming and picking for fingerstyle as well. The top is a Style '28 Herringbone Adirondack. The 00-28 features X bracing, forward shifted, and scalopped. The Brazilian Rosewood is of a quality you wonn't anymore these day. Waverly Tuners, a pyramyd bridge, 43,1 mm ( 1 11/16 ) Short Scale 632mm ( 24.9" ) 55mm ( 2 1/8" ) Srting space at the bridge. Back of the Headstock stamped old with Martin Logio; the neck is soft V profile. A K&K pure mini is installed with vintage jack. Comes in an exclusive carbon fiber humi case. If you would ask Martin to make a guitar like this, these days, they would quote a price over 25000$. This From My Favourite Guitars. The same example of  Guitar  restore using a body of 0028G is priced at Gruhn at 12.500$ with not taxes charge and shipping costs...and I can I say The Rosewood Condition is Terrific on mine.
