Condition NotesWell worn but nothing major. Checking, dings and finish wear throughout. Neck has particularly seen some wear but still has a good amount of finish left.
This D-28 has all the character and musicality of a much older example without quite being an antique. With plenty of honest, modest wear, it fits naturally in the hand and offers a warm, cohesive tone that reflects decades of playing. The neck is a very comfortable, slender C that almost leans toward a soft V profile. It shows wear throughout and has had a few repairs and upgrades, but nothing significant or structurally concerning. It comes in a hardshell case.
