2003 Martin HD-28VS Vintage Series 12-Fret
Dreadnought Excellent Condition with Original Geib-Style Case Discontinued
Vintage Series Cannon
This is a stunning, beautifully matured 2003
Martin HD-28VS from Martin's highly acclaimed Vintage Series.
If you are looking for the massive, orchestral voice of a true 12-fret dreadnought, this is it.
The HD-28VS is a reissue of Martin's classic pre-war design, combining a slotted headstock, an elongated body, and forward-shifted scalloped bracing. The result is an absolute acoustic "cannon" with deep, resonant bass, sweet trebles, and unmatched sustain.
This guitar has been meticulously cared for and is in Excellent Condition. Having matured for over two decades, the solid Sitka Spruce top has opened up beautifully, delivering a rich, complex tone that you simply cannot get from a brand-new instrument.
