This 1952 Martin D-28 has all the character you'd hope for in a well-loved vintage dreadnought, paired with a thoughtful list of professional repairs that keep it going. It’s had a neck reset, refret, and a new bone saddle and nut for optimal playability, while a tasteful full-body overspray preserves its original checking and vintage appeal. The pickguard and bridge pins have been replaced, and the bridge plate has been reinforced with glue and wood dust. A strap button was added as well. Warm, open, and seasoned in all the right ways, this D-28 is ready for its next chapter.
