This Martin Custom Shop D-28 stands as a testament to what makes Martin Custom Shop instruments so exceptional, combining world-class materials, artisanal craftsmanship, and the rich acoustic tone that has defined generations of music. Here at Russo Music, we’re proud to hold the distinction of being a Martin Guitar Custom Shop Expert Dealer, granting us access to exclusive guitars like this D-28 that showcase the very best in design, build quality, and musical expression.

This Martin Custom Shop Expert model is constructed with an artist's eye in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. Beginning with a D-14 Fret dreadnought body design, this acoustic features an Adirondack spruce top and Brazilian rosewood back and sides. Together, these two rich, historic tonewoods play with a refined, musical character as propelled by the model's many other high-quality appointments and specifications. For one, this model's body is assembled with vintage hide glue adhesive, a natural material with a build process and practice legacy measured in generations. Vintage hide glue adhesive, demanding a precise hand-assembly process from Martin's Custom Expert luthiers, welcomes a historic aspect to this thoroughly modern instrument.

Elements from Martin's acclaimed Authentic Series guitars are imported to this Custom Expert piece. The Adirondack spruce top's braces are one such example. This model's brace pattern assembles in an Authentic 1937 forward-shifted pattern with scalloped brace shapes. Inspired by Martin's landmark 1937 models, these Adirondack spruce braces impart a concision and balance to the overall tonal output of the model as the D-14 Fret shape plays with its trademark projection and bassy response.

The sonic engine of this guitar is bolstered by its playability. A 12/4 genuine mahogany neck enters the picture at this point in a Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 Barrel & Heel profile. Connecting with that all-important and historic Martin playability, this model is fit with a Standard Taper, making the overall feel firm yet fluid. The model's ebony fingerboard matches up with the neck with Martin's abalone Diamond & Square Long fret inlays that make fretting simply a dream.

At either end of this model's 25.4" scale length, we're met with reliable and sturdy hardware specifications. The base of the scale features a 1930s Style Belly ebony bridge with a glue-in bone long saddle while the scale's opposite end is lined with the headstock's Aged Waverly nickel open back tuning machines. Stringing is made easy with these specifications as this Custom Expert model plays solidly and responsively.

This Martin Custom Shop Expert model is detailed aesthetically and tangibly with a number of classy and classic Martin appointments. Antique White Boltaron binding wraps the model's body for a stark accent while Bold Herringbone top inlay adds an additional pop. A Style 28 Multi-Stripe rosette rounds the soundhole while the Adirondack spruce top's Vintage Toner color dips the model's appearance into a comfortably aged hue. This hue is then deepened by the model's overall Martin Stage 1 lightly aged gloss finish that pushes the guitar's presentation firmly into an authentically and artistically worn aesthetic. The model's lightly aged treatment captures the essence and subtle wear of a well-preserved Martin classic. This Martin Custom model is one of twenty-eight produced worldwide.

As one of the world's premier purveyors of fine acoustic guitars, Martin flexes its creative muscle through models like this Custom Shop Expert. With it, Martin's lengthy legacy with American-made acoustic marvels is sure to translate.

One of the best Star Wars comic series of all time.
Format: Kindle
Crimson Empire was the first Star Wars comic that I read. Stories like these are what kept Star Wars alive and fresh during the nearly 20 years between films. I love the stories about those minor characters that you see in the films. When you saw the Crimson Guard with the Emperor for the first time, you knew there was something fascinating about these guardians of the most powerful being in the universe. This story delves into some of those characters. The art is fantastic, sort of that stylized 90's colorful art. Awesome battle scenes. It really captures the imagination. Great story, give it a try. I highly recommend getting a paper copy of this trade.

Top Notch!
Format: Hardcover
A lot of the time when your reading SW books your imagination doesn't quite fill in the gaps that the author leaves. A lot of SW books have little to no detail because they are movie or game based. This is where the top notch illiustrations took this story line to a whole new level! Richardson does a great job on developping the main character. I was very impressed with the quality of the story and blown away with the illustrations. Great read for all!

Great saga!
Format: Kindle
I love this series! It is beautifully painted, has good dialogue, and has a very compelling narrative. I cannot help but like the protagonist, Kir Kanos. He is brave, unselfish, noble, determined, and deadly. Even if his primary goal is to exact vengeance for the killing of the truly evil Palpatine, I cannot help but cheer for him. This is truly a compelling read that refuses to be put down.

Just an OK read
Format: Kindle
I was not aware when I purchased this that it was a Graphic Novel, I really wish that in the blurb about these products it was made very clear that you are buying a Graphic Novel. I like reading, not viewing the written word. Since I got this via Kindle there was no shipping issues. Maybe the Graphic Novels should have their own category, so that we don't end up with things we don't want.

"Thus die all traitors."
Format: Hardcover
At a grand 504 pages, this big book covers the Crimson Empire series in its entirety. Containing the first, second, and third mini-series as well as Bounty Hunters: Kenix Kil, Dark Horse Extra #21-24 "Hard Currency", and Dark Horse Presents #1 "Third Time Pays for All". While some of these stories truly pale in comparison to the original series, they all still form a big story that is collected in this book. Slightly smaller than a regular TPB, this hardcover edition looks nice with a dustjacket (although mine was very off-center) but utilizes a glued binding on this thick book so you lose a bit to gutter loss. The first story in the book is the classic Crimson Empire series. The six-issue series is collected here in full with a truly timeless story by Randy Stradley and Mike Richardson. Paul Gulacy did the awesome art within the issues. The writing and art work well together with the vibration of the blades to the movie-like, choreographed 12-page fight scene between Kanos and Jax at the end. A truly epic tale with lots of action and mystery that made you feel like you were watching another Star Wars movie but condensed into six issues of a comic book! This alone is worth the purchase price but you get even more stories after this! Bounty Hunters: Kenix Kil follows the Crimson Empire in a tale following Kir Kanos after the end of the Crimson Empire series and was the third issue in the Bounty Hunters series. Kir becomes the bounty hunter Kenix Kil to move through a bounty hunter-filled planet and get what he needs and get out alive! Javier Saltares did the penciling while Randy Stradley reprised his role for the story. The story's short but tells a bit more about Kir and his journey. The drawings, while not as good as the first series, look good enough to get the story across. Crimson Empire II: Council of Blood is next directly following the first series as Kir Kanos, as Kenix Kil, continues his quest to destroy what's left of the traitorous Imperial leaders. However, the return of an old friend side-tracks his quest and brings him to an even bigger journey! The old writing team of Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley return in this story as well as the original artist Paul Gulacy. The art's great and the story, though a bit dense, works well. There isn't quite as much action this time around but the story's just as good. The Zanzibar creatures are one of the creepiest things you'll ever see in a Star Wars comic, too! Next up is the very short four-part comic entitled Hard Currency that appeared in Dark Horse Extra #21-24. The comic is written by Randy Stradley so you know the writing's done well but the art is by Isaas Buckminister Owens and is one God-awful mess. The characters are horribly out of proportion and it looks extremely cartoony. It's very, very short with only a few pages but even if you get past the art, the comic reads like a calendar with the book turned on its side. So, the whole process of reading this out of a 500+ page book is just annoying. I know they probably couldn't print it any other way but it's still inconvenient. However, what you get is a neat story wrapping up the fate of a character that has ran through the first two series and a bit more about Kir's alter ego Kenix Kil. Unlisted, the book appears to start with the third main series but actually contains an 8-page prequel comic that originally appeared in Dark Horse Presents #1 entitled The Third Time Pays for All. The writing has Randy Stradley again and, thankfully, Paul Gulacy on art duty (although his other works here were better). Once again, a short glimpse into the life of (a newly outfitted) Kenix Kil on a bounty-hunting mission while he reminisces about his past run-ins with Mirith Sinn. Mike, Randy and Paul continue their work with the Crimson Empire III: Empire Lost where Kir Kanos rejoins Mirith Sinn one last time to thwart an Imperial thug from destroying the New Republic and the New Empire in one fell swoop! Leia, Luke, Han, and Chewie appear in this tale as well as Boba Fett to round out a classic cast. The art's great, once again, and the writing, while probably my least favorite of the series, is still pretty good with an epic fight between Kir and Devian. At the end of the book, we get the Crimson Empire Handbook entries on some of the characters as well as a few more covers to gawk at. While this hardcover book looks really nice, Dark Horse still fails to make a truly great edition for this series through the book itself. The contents are great but the small size and lack of comic covers are disappointing. Sadly, that's just how Dark Horse releases their hardcovers and TPBs. But, if you're looking to read the Crimson Empire books, this is the one to get!
