Martin / 000C28 Andy Summers Limited Edition / 2007 / Guitar

Martin 000C28 Andy Summers Limited Edition from 2007, excellent condition with some angelhair playwear and some tiny dings in the finish. From the sonic textures of the Police to the jazzy contemporary sound of his solo work, Andy Summers is a guitar innovator. Rock, classical, jazz, Brazilian, and just about everything in between. If it can be played on an acoustic or electric guitar, Summers has played it and in doing so has expanded its horizons. Andy worked closely with Martin’s Dick Boak to design the Martin 000C-28 Andy Summers Signature Edition. It is an extraordinary guitar in every way and features a top with a unique black/white “chevron checkered” binding, while the back showcases a Style 45 multicolored back strip with distinctive black fiber borders. Accenting the soundhole is a triple-ring rosette with a central ring of fine herringbone. The back and sides are bound in ivoroid, the latter with mitered black/white fine line purfling. In a salute to Martin history – and because the combination looks so elegant – a black African ebony pyramid bridge graces the top, but a pickguard does not. Up the neck, the solid, square tapered headstock combines Martin’s antique pressure stamp on the back with an ivoroid-bound, black/white mitered black African ebony headplate inlaid with the Lotus flower, the Buddhist symbol of purity, on the front. The matching ivoroid-bound and mitered black African ebony fingerboard is inlaid in mother of pearl with Buddhist “Mudra” (hand gesture) position markers at the 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th and 15th frets, the yin/yang symbol at the 17th fret and Andy Summer’s signature between the 19th and 20th frets. Exquisite premium solid tonewoods add to the beauty of this guitar and contribute to its superb tone. The top is crafted from Italian alpine spruce, renowned for warmth, balance and impressive dynamic range, and matched to 5/16” scalloped bracing for clear definition. East Indian rosewood back and sides add outstanding projection. A one-piece neck of genuine mahogany contributes structural strength and stability. Several design elements make the 000C-28 Andy Summers Signature Edition a player’s delight. The short 24.9” scale, 1-3/4” (at the nut) neck with modified low oval profile and low action allow for easy fretting, even on difficult chords. The 000 cutaway body insures full fingerboard access and playing comfort both sitting and standing (a chrome strap button is installed at the neck heel). Waverly open-geared nickel tuners with butterbean knobs contribute smooth, precise tuning. The factoryinstalled Fishman Ellipse™ Blend electronics with a mic/under-saddle pickup combination and on-board controls allows effortless amplification. Delivered in a Geib-style hardshell case, each Martin 000C-28 Andy Summers Signature Edition guitar bears an interior label personally signed by Andy Summers and Martin Chairman C. F. Martin IV and is numbered in sequence with the edition total.  Specifications: Body Shape: 000 14-fret Finish: Natural Body Material: Solid Indian Rosewood Top Material: Solid Italian Alpine Spruce Lefty No Body Details: black/white “chevron checkered” binding, Style 45 multicolored back strip, triple-ring rosette with a central ring of fine herringbone, ivoroid back bindings and black/white purfling Neck Material: Mahogany Neck Profile: modified low oval Fingerboard Material: African Ebony Fingerboard Radius: 16” Neck Details: mother of pearl with Buddhist “Mudra” (hand gesture) position markers Nutwidth: 45 mm - 1 3/4" Scale Length: 632 mm - 24.9" String spacing: 58 mm - 2 1/4" Bridge: African Ebony Pyramid Tuners: Waverly Pickup Fishman Ellipse Blend Condition: Excellent Cosmetic Condition: angelhair playwear, several small dings in the finish Modifications/, Repairs: None Tech Notes: None Travels in: Original Hardshell Case Accessories: None

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
