Produced in a limited edition of 88 guitars worldwide, the 000-28 Shawn Mendes guitars are numbered and signed by Shawn Mendes.

Each instrument benefits from meticulous craftsmanship that showcases the selected woods, the intricate finishes and the collector’s appeal associated with this special edition, creating a unique link between the tradition of the acoustic guitar and a contemporary artistic approach.

The aesthetic touches added by Shawn Mendes to this guitar tell a unique story, featuring an openwork headstock, gold-plated Waverly tuners and a pickguard inspired by that of a vintage instrument he particularly admires.

The fingerboard also features a bespoke mother-of-pearl eagle motif inspired by one of the singer’s own designs, lending a distinctive character to this refined acoustic folk guitar, whose visual style seems to harbour a few well-kept secrets.

This acoustic folk guitar delivers an expressive tonal palette thanks to its tonal balance of warm lows, rich mids and bright highs, which lend themselves to a variety of musical approaches. It is well-suited to songwriting, acoustic arrangements or performances where subtle nuances are key, offering detailed reproduction that allows for the exploration of varied sonic textures with an instrument designed for precise and natural expression.

The design of this 000-28 features a solid spruce top with an Antique Toner finish, paired with a solid East Indian rosewood back and sides that produce a balanced tonal palette.

The scalloped Golden Era X-bracing delivers a dynamic response with natural projection, precisely supporting the musician’s nuances and preserving rich expression across a range of acoustic interpretations.

The 000 body shape, with a joint at the 14th fret, offers a balanced silhouette with a body designed to accommodate the guitarist’s natural movements and provide harmonious sound projection. The GE Modified Low Oval neck, with its High-Performance Taper profile, provides a fluid feel for a range of acoustic styles, from chords to detailed melodic lines, with a construction designed to foster a natural connection between the musician and their instrument.
