This D-28 is thunderous. Martin does a great job with these Authentic Aged models. Their process is precise to the time and offers customers a tremendous product that's in the ball park of the originals without the responsibility of owning a pre war Martin. For the player dedicated to the amazing sound of old Martins but focusing on traveling or taking the stage, these models from Martin are outstanding. This guitar is in excellent condition and plays perfectly, a great piece for any collection.
From Martin:
"If you're looking for a new guitar that looks and sounds like you've been playing it for 80 years, you have just found your holy grail of guitars. 1937 was an excellent year for guitars, with a perfect storm of craftsmanship, innovation, and materials. The Aged version of the D-28 Authentic 1937 includes all of the goodness that comes with Martin's Authentic Series instruments, like hide glue construction and hand-scalloped X-bracing. Plus, it adds the VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) that ages the wood to replicate the sound of a vintage Martin. Martin's craftspeople can recreate the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar and reproduce the particular tones previously reserved for vintage instruments. Now Martin has reintroduced a more accurate body profile based on dreadnought shapes from the early Golden Era of Martin's history. The result is a tactile, visual, and auditory experience that will transport you all the way back to the 1930s. And we know you’re going to like it there."
Comes with the original hard shell case and an added K&K Mini pickup.
