Martin Guitars - 1986 D-28 - Used

This Martin D-28 is a 1986 example of the American-made craftsmanship that has been the hallmark of C.F. Martin guitars throughout the years. Clocking in a 40-years-old and featuring a Sitka spruce top over East Indian rosewood back and sides, this is that classic 28-style build that Martin popularized throughout the back half of the 20th century. With rear-shifted, non-scalloped bracing this dreadnought has a focused bass-forward tone and a surprising amount of volume. Being from '96, this D-28 features an adjustable truss rod, one of the first to come out of Nazareth, PA with that option. Here with a low saddle and standard action, this D-28 is in Good condition with playwear, several scratches and dents present throughout the top and back. There is a mark to the finish on the back of the neck, possibly a strap or capo at one time.
