The Martin D-28 has been the longstanding flagship model through the golden ages. The formula: Spruce top, Rosewood back and sides, and Ebony bridge. Once you get into this territory, there is still a lot of distance within the weeds to travel in terms of specs and variations. To start, this guitar featured here is one of the greatest sounding to come through the shop. The Brazilian Rosewood back and sides are a stable straight grain, the Sitka spruce top is tight grained, and the lacquer is thin, worn and checked. As far as modifications go to the vocal success, the top bracing is now scalloped and the bridge plate is a replacement larger rosewood one. The balance is perfect. The guitar has had a shave down its bridge, a neck reset, patch under the fingerboard extension, and a refret. To reiterate, the sound is stellar.

Comes with modern green lined case.
