C. F. Martin & Co / D28 / 1973 / Natural / Guitar For Sale
|
Over the years, the D28 has become pretty much the industry standard Spruce / Rosewood dreadnought. It’s been played by countless famous musicians, and features on many classic songs. Early 70’s examples are becoming amongst the most desirable, since prices of the Brazilian Rosewood D28’s from the 60’s and earlier have gone through the roof. This 1973 guitar is a prime example, and has that uncanny feel of a guitar you’ve heard before on so many famous recordings – it has a timeless feel to it, sounds epic and feels effortless to play. The guitar’s in good condition for it’s age, it’s clearly been played a lot, has plenty of lacquer checking, and three surface cracks that don’t go through the wood. The Spruce top has turned a dark honey colour, and the Rosewood back and sides are beautifully figured. The guitar comes in it’s original hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK 
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
