The D-28 doesn't need to make a case for itself. Solid Sitka spruce over solid East Indian rosewood, forward-shifted non-scalloped bracing, ebony board and bridge — Martin's been building this exact recipe for the better part of a century because nothing better has come along.

Here's what makes this one worth stopping on: there's an L stamped on the model plate inside the soundhole. That's a factory left-handed build, not a flipped righty or a shop conversion. If you've been a lefty settling for "close enough" your whole playing life, this is the one that ends that.

It's all original. No repairs, no mods, nothing hiding under the pickguard — just a clean, honest D-28 built the way Martin built them before the 2015 bracing overhaul, which plenty of players still consider the sweet spot.

Get it in the right hands and it'll do the talking.

This is a USED instrument in EXCELLENT condition.
