The Martin 000-28 Shawn Mendes honors the vintage spirit of Shawn’s small-bodied 1920s Martin and transforms it into a modern signature guitar designed for players and fans alike. With Style 28 appointments and the 000 body he favors, it embodies both personal artistry and the timelessness of Martin design—much like the enduring quality of great songs that never fade.
At its core, the 000-28 Shawn Mendes features solid East Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a solid spruce top, finished in antique toner and framed by bold herringbone trim. This classic tonewood combination produces a sound that’s rich, balanced, and articulate, perfect for everything from delicate fingerpicking to full-bodied strumming. Golden Era scalloped X-bracing, as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series, ensures the top responds dynamically, projecting with warmth, clarity, and the kind of timeless Martin voice that has inspired generations.
Unique details make this model unmistakably Shawn’s. The ebony fingerboard carries a custom mother-of-pearl eagle inlay, while the pyramid-style ebony bridge recalls thecharm of vintage Martins. A distinct faux tortoise pickguard mirrors the one on Shawn’s cherished 1920s guitar, and the slotted headstock with gold Waverly® side-mount tuners adds vintage elegance with modern precision. Each guitar is strung with Martin Lifespan® 2.0 light gauge strings to ensure tone that lasts.
Limited to only 88 instruments worldwide, the 000-28 Shawn Mendes is both a player’s tool and a collector’s piece. By blending vintage heritage with modern artistry, it serves as a reminder of the timeless bond between great instruments and great songs. Each guitar includes a molded hardshell case and a numbered interior label signed by Shawn—bridging past, present, and the next generation of music.
