The 28-Style Authentic Collection guitars take what Martin's coveted 1937 Series of Authentics does and revamp them for modern times. An 'adjustable truss rod' gives enthusiasts the everyday reliability of an instrument that travels well and responds to seasonal adjustments as it ages.
Besides the well known D28 recipe of Indian rosewood combined with an Adirondack top, this model features the new “Stage 1” lightly aged finish. Lacking the heavy wear and tear of an instrument that’s seen considerable use, the “Stage 1” finish with light cracking and crazing is inspired by those rare vintage instruments that were simply kept in the case and tucked away for decades. The "Stage 1" finish bears the marks of time but not the battle scars common on many vintage re-creations.
And that aging looks extra chic together with the Ambertone finish and abalone 'diamonds & squares' inlay on the fingerboard! And it's not just a beautiful instrument in terms of looks; it also sounds as you'd expect from a Martin dreadnought: loud and balanced. Besides the relic, this guitar has gotten some light traces of playwear on the pickguard and body, but it is really clean and in excellent condition.
Includes a hardshell case with TFOA passport.
