This '46 D-28 is a remarkable instrument, requiring only minimal upkeep to ensure peak performance! Let's address that upfront. It has undergone a neck set, refret, bridge replacement, and repaired top cracks. Despite the presence of overspray, the top sings. Plays like a newer guitar while retaining the distinctively rich, warm, woody tone and feel that characterizes a superb vintage D-28. This guitar displays lots of wear throughout, giving it plenty of character without compromising its playability. Whether you're a collector or a dedicated player seeking your perfect instrument, this is a gem worth acquiring!
