Martin D-28 AUTHENTIC 1931 USED 2013
Description
The "D-28," a model that laid the foundation not only for Martin but for acoustic guitars around the world, was released in 1931.
The AUTHENTIC series recreates this model with as close attention to original manufacturing methods as possible.
The D-28, which debuted in 1931, differed from current models in that it featured a 12th-fret joint and a slotted headstock.
This style continues to this day with the model name D-28S.
The materials used, including the Adirondack spruce top, Madagascar rosewood back and sides, and mahogany neck, set it apart from standard models.
The carefully finished scalloped bracing is bonded using glue,
while other details such as the painted pickguard and ebony rod are also faithfully reproduced.
The wide 47.6mm nut width and soft-V neck create a period-correct look and feel.
The guitar has been properly adjusted, and the nut and saddle have been replaced.
The string height is approximately 2.5mm at the 6th string (12th fret) and 1.8mm at the 1st string (12th fret), making this a very playable set.
The condition is quite good with almost no visible scratches, but there are some repaired peeling marks on the binding on the top and back. There is also some paint peeling on the back of the neck behind the 1st fret.
This is a rare model that is now discontinued.
Includes original hard case.
