Martin / D-28 / 1949 / Guitar
|
This Martin D-28 1949 is the real thing. A players dream - it sounds like nothing you have ever heard before. The original invoice and the original case comes with the guitar.
From its introduction in 1931, the C F Martin D-28 has been a successful, reliable design used by countless guitarists in performance and recordings.
The C F Martin D-28 shares a basic body design with other D or Dreadnought series bodies, and features a Spruce top paired with Rosewood for the back, sides and headplate, Mahogany for the neck and Ebony for the fingerboard and bridge. At the time this guitar was built, the combination was Adirondack Spruce and Brazilian Rosewood.
This is a post-war guitar, and its construction details indicate that dating. Pre-war guitars had Herringbone purfling around the top and elsewhere.
It’s a treat to play a guitar like this. The tone is rich and full with the typical Rosewood warmth, while the Adirondack Spruce top provides sparkle and clarity even when played hard. It sounds like a dream and many professional players who tried this guitar stated, that it is the best sounding Martin, they ever saw.
It plays well as it is, and it’s ready to go! Over the years this guitar has been serviced. It plays well and have had a neck reset and a refret. The bridge was replaced too, but the original bridge with the original bridge pins will come with the guitar.
The top shows play wear and some cracks have been repaired as well.
