Martin 000-28 Shawn Mendes Custom Artist Limited Edition Acoustic Guitar - Antique Toner | #39 of 88

Martin 000-28 Shawn Mendes Custom Artist Limited Edition Acoustic Guitar – Antique Toner | #39 of 88 | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Martin 000-28 Shawn Mendes is a limited-edition artist model that bridges nearly a century of Martin heritage with the vision of one of the most successful singer-songwriters of his generation — and only 88 of them exist worldwide. Number 39 of that run is here at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls, built in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, serial number 3034288, and signed by Shawn Mendes on the numbered interior label. Inspired directly by Shawn's cherished 1920s Martin, the 000-28 Shawn Mendes captures the warmth, character, and intimacy of vintage acoustic guitar design in a more accessible and modern form — a 000-14 fret body with solid spruce top in Antique Toner, East Indian rosewood back and sides, GE-scalloped X-bracing, a slotted headstock with gold Waverly tuners, and a one-of-a-kind Mendes Eagle fingerboard inlay on the ebony fingerboard. The same timelessness that defines great songwriting is built into every detail of this instrument.

Product Overview

The 000 body size is one of Martin's most intimate and musically nuanced acoustic guitar formats — smaller and more focused than the Dreadnought, with a balanced, articulate tonal character that excels at fingerpicking, quiet strumming, and the kind of introspective, detail-rich playing that defines Shawn Mendes's acoustic work. The 000-28 Shawn Mendes takes this body size and layers vintage-inspired appointments over it in a way that reflects both the design language of Shawn's beloved 1920s Martin reference instrument and the elevated craftsmanship standards that a Custom Artist model demands. Looking at the guitar in person reveals a remarkably clean, elegant visual presentation — the Antique Toner spruce top glowing warmly under the gloss finish, the multi-stripe binding running neatly around the body's perimeter, the faux tortoise pickguard providing a vintage-appropriate visual anchor to the lower bout, and the slotted headstock framing the gold Waverly side-mount tuners in a way that immediately communicates vintage breeding and premium hardware simultaneously.

The custom Mendes Eagle fingerboard inlay is the instrument's most distinctive and personal visual element — a detailed eagle rendered in white on the dark ebony fingerboard, positioned in the lower register of the neck where it's visible during performance. Visible in the photograph from across the room, this inlay is a signature design detail that makes the 000-28 Shawn Mendes immediately identifiable and adds a genuinely artistic dimension to the instrument's appearance that goes beyond traditional Martin fingerboard appointments.

The GE-scalloped X-bracing — the same specification featured on Martin's premium Modern Deluxe Series — is the tonal upgrade that elevates the 000-28 Shawn Mendes's acoustic voice beyond a standard 000-28. Golden Era scalloping removes material from the braces to allow the spruce top to vibrate more freely, contributing to the warm, resonant, dynamically responsive tonal character associated with Martin's most celebrated vintage instruments. The Antique Toner spruce top adds a subtle warmth to the visual presentation that hints at the aged, opened-up tonal character of an older instrument — a nod to the 1920s Martin that inspired this design. East Indian rosewood back and sides contribute the lush low end, complex midrange, and harmonically rich high frequencies that have defined premium acoustic guitar tone for generations, and the genuine mahogany neck with GE Modified Low Oval profile and satin finish is among the most comfortable and fast-playing neck shapes in Martin's lineup.

Each of the 88 guitars produced includes a numbered label signed personally by Shawn Mendes — making the provenance of this instrument documented and direct, connecting the player to the artist whose vision shaped every specification on this guitar.

Key Features

Limited to 88 Guitars — Signed and Numbered by Shawn Mendes
Each of the 88 instruments in this edition includes a numbered interior label personally signed by Shawn Mendes — documented provenance directly connecting the player to the artist whose vintage 1920s Martin inspired every design decision in this guitar.

Custom Mendes Eagle Fingerboard Inlay
A detailed eagle inlay in white on the dark ebony fingerboard is the instrument's most personal and distinctive visual element — a signature artistic detail that makes this 000-28 immediately recognizable as Shawn Mendes's own design.

Slotted Headstock with Gold Waverly Side-Mount Tuners
The slotted headstock and gold Waverly tuners are among the most elegant and vintage-appropriate hardware appointments available on any Martin guitar — a visual and functional nod to the pre-war acoustic guitar tradition that Shawn's 1920s Martin reference represents.

GE-Scalloped X-Bracing — Modern Deluxe Specification
Golden Era scalloped bracing removes material from the top braces to allow freer vibration and richer tonal response — the same bracing specification found on Martin's premium Modern Deluxe Series, applied here to produce warm, resonant, dynamically alive acoustic tone.

Solid Spruce Top in Antique Toner
The gloss Antique Toner finish on the spruce top suggests the warmth and character of an aged vintage instrument — a subtle, amber-tinged visual coloration that complements the guitar's vintage-inspired design language and the warmth of the rosewood back and sides.

East Indian Rosewood Back and Sides
Solid East Indian rosewood contributes lush low end, complex midrange, and harmonically rich highs — the tonewood combination that has defined premium acoustic guitar tone for generations and that anchors the 000-28's tonal reputation.

Genuine Mahogany Neck with GE Modified Low Oval Profile
A comfortable, fast-playing genuine mahogany neck in the GE Modified Low Oval profile with satin finish provides the effortless playability and vintage-appropriate feel that suits both intimate acoustic performance and extended playing sessions.
