Martin Limited Edition 000-28 Shawn Mendes

This guitar is number 42 of 88 

Inspired by Shawn Mendes’ cherished 1920s Martin, the Martin 000-28 Shawn Mendes blends vintage character, premium tonewoods and limited-edition artistry in a highly collectible artist model. Limited to just 88 guitars worldwide, this Custom Artist 000 pairs a spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides for warm bass, rich mids and sparkling highs. Golden Era scalloped X-bracing, drawn from Martin’s Modern Deluxe Series, enhances resonance and responsiveness, while the 000-14 fret body keeps the playing experience intimate and expressive. A slotted headstock with gold Waverly side-mount tuners, faux tortoise pickguard and custom Mendes Eagle inlay reinforce the guitar’s vintage-inspired identity. Complete with a numbered label signed by Shawn, this limited-edition acoustic reflects Martin heritage through the lens of modern songwriting.

Spruce and East Indian Rosewood With Golden Era Bracing

At the heart of the 000-28 Shawn Mendes is the classic pairing of spruce and East Indian rosewood, long associated with Martin’s most revered small-bodied instruments. The spruce top delivers clarity, headroom and articulate response, while East Indian rosewood back and sides contribute warm bass, rich mids and sparkling high-end detail. Golden Era scalloped X-bracing allows the top to resonate freely, enhancing sustain and projection while preserving crisp note definition. Paired with an intimate 000-14 fret body, this construction yields a voice suited to delicate fingerstyle passages, expressive songwriting and confident strumming.

GE-Modified Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fingerboard

Continuing its Golden Era inspiration, the 000-28 Shawn Mendes features a genuine mahogany neck shaped to a GE Modified profile. The 24.9″ scale length and 1.75″ nut width provide familiar 000 spacing and comfortable string tension, supporting both chordal work and detailed melodic playing. An ebony fingerboard adds a smooth, articulate playing surface with clear note definition and long-term durability. Together, these elements create a refined playing experience that honors vintage Martin design while remaining comfortable for modern acoustic players.

Style 28 Heritage With Artist-Inspired Details

The 000-28 Shawn Mendes brings classic Style 28 character into a limited-edition artist model with carefully chosen visual appointments. A gloss finish, antique toner top, faux tortoise pickguard and ebony bridge reinforce its vintage-inspired presentation, while the slotted headstock with gold Waverly side-mount tuners adds period-correct elegance and dependable tuning stability. The custom Mendes Eagle inlay on the ebony fingerboard provides the defining signature touch. Limited to just 88 guitars worldwide, each instrument also includes a numbered label signed by Shawn.

Shawn Mendes: Acoustic Songwriting at the Center of His Craft

Shawn Mendes has built a global career around songs anchored by acoustic guitar, becoming one of pop music’s most recognizable singer-songwriters while maintaining a deeply personal approach to composition. From the stripped-back intimacy heard in songs like “Treat You Better” to the global success of “Señorita,” his music consistently returns to the immediacy of voice and guitar. Even as his performances have grown to arena scale, the acoustic remains central to his creative process and live shows. Limited to just 88 instruments worldwide, the Martin 000-28 Shawn Mendes translates that artistic foundation into a premium, heritage-inspired acoustic built to celebrate both Martin craftsmanship and Shawn’s enduring connection to the songwriter’s instrument.
