000-28 Shawn Mendes
The Martin 000-28 Shawn Mendes blends vintage inspiration with modern craftsmanship in a limited-edition artist model. Inspired by Shawn’s cherished 1920s Martin, it captures history while offering timeless design in a more accessible form. A 000-size body with East Indian rosewood back and sides and a solid spruce top with antique toner produces warm bass, rich mids, and sparkling highs, enhanced by Golden Era scalloped X-bracing—as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series. Signature details include a slotted headstock with gold Waverly® tuners, a distinct faux tortoise pickguard, and a custom eagle inlay. Limited to just 88 guitars worldwide, each includes a numbered label signed by Shawn. By bridging Martin heritage with modern artistry, the 000-28 Shawn Mendes reflects the same timelessness that defines great songwriting.
With the release of the 000-10E Shawn Mendes and the 000-28 Shawn Mendes, Martin Guitar is proud to support the Shawn Mendes Foundation and its mission to amplify, empower, and uplift youth change makers, their organizations and their work. The Shawn Mendes Foundation is a sponsored program of the Social Impact Fund, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
