The Martin 000-28 Brooke Ligertwood is the signature acoustic guitar of the New Zealand-born singer-songwriter. Also known by her stage name "Brooke Fraser," Brooke has had wide-ranging international success as both a mainstream and worship musician. Brooke has a long standing and deep personal connection with Martin guitars and Martin was thrilled to team up to design her dream Custom Artist model. This auditorium style guitar was inspired by a combination of Brooke's favorite aspects of Martin's Paul Simon and Eric Clapton Custom Artist models that are part of her own collection. Personalized features on this model include a simple wreath pattern inlay on the headstock, and Brooke's signature inlayed on the twentieth fret. It also includes a signed paper label that is numbered in sequence.
