Martin D-28 1938, Natural

This 1938 Martin D-28 is an iconic prewar dreadnought, with a commanding tone that's fully opened up over the decades. It's had its neck swapped with a D-28 a few serial numbers away, with a shimmed nut, re-fret, and neck reset— all professional, high-quality work. Four top cracks were re-glued near the fingerboard extension and the finish was touched up, supported underneath by an added popsicle brace, and the bridge, pins, and saddle were all replaced. The X-braces have been re-glued, the bridge plate plugged and re-drilled, and the binding has been touched up. The sides near the heel show light overspray, and the neck itself is well-played in. A heel block strip was installed as well.
