Martin / HD-28S / 1997 / Natural / Guitar For Sale
|
Now discontinued, the HD-28S was later rebranded HD-28VS to fit Martin’s Vintage series. In either format it’s a difficult guitar to find. 12 fret dreadnoughts still go under the radar for a lot of players. But once tried, never forgotten. They feel and sound different to most standard 14 fret models. Essentially the bridge is moved away from the soundhole, to the widest part of the body, allowing the top to resonate more. As well as this great feature, there’s also an increased bass response – not boomy, but bigger and airier. This 1997 example has also benefited from 27 years of play, adding an openness and maturity to the sound. The guitar’s in excellent condition for it’s age with just light playwear. The neck feels great with a soft V profile, and the action is comfortable. The guitar comes in a non original but correct period 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.
