Bass side action at the 12th fret is 2.25mm and the treble side is 2mm. That's low for a Martin. Technically a touch under factory spec. If you like a light, slinky acoustic setup, this thing is absolutely in the zone. The catch is the saddle is also sitting fairly low, currently protruding around 1.5-2mm above the bridge. The bridge itself still appears to retain factory height. So yes, technically both the saddle and action could sit higher with a neck reset in the future, but right now the guitar is functioning as a genuinely great player exactly as it sits. I've leaned into its strengths and strung it with 11-52s. As a low-action fingerpicker or couch strummer, it really works. To regain full factory adjustment range, it'd eventually want a neck reset, but if you already like the setup, that's largely academic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrying to be hyper conservative and transparent here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo this one is priced accordingly and sold as is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're the sort of person who subscribes to the \"shuddup and play yer guitar\" school of thought, this one's a ripper. Save yourself the cost of a neck reset, enjoy a genuinely opened-up 000-28, and get Champagne acoustic tone on a Cola budget. Yeehaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerial number 1068734 Includes the original Martin hardcase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.\" - Immanuel Kant\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52435827228984,"sku":"ET3499","price":2995.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2689\/3554\/files\/ET349918-5-26-871_5259ea98-3609-4555-ac34-6dfadc64fb77.jpg?v=1780041826","url":"https:\/\/echotone.com.au\/products\/2004-martin-000-28-usa-natural-gloss-ohsc","provider":"Echo Tone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
