John Lennon, a member of the Beatles, is said to have had a tremendous influence on current music. After the Beatles disbanded, he continued his successful solo career and sadly passed away in 1980. Alongside the Gibson J-160E, one of his most famous acoustic guitars was the Martin D-28, the most famous model in the Martin Guitars lineup. This particular instrument is the "D-28 John Lennon 75th Anniversary Madagascar Rosewood," commemorating John Lennon's 75th birthday, with John's distinctive design details incorporated into every aspect of the D-28. This is a used item from 2016. This guitar features a VTS-processed Adirondack spruce top, Madagascar rosewood sides and back, genuine mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and bridge, modified low oval neck grip, high-performance neck taper, Waverly open-back tuners, a pearl inlay rosette in the shape of a peace sign, original pearl fingerboard inlays, a black pickguard with a custom inlay resembling a sun, and non-scalloped rear-shifted X-bracing. The back features a peace sign design, the headstock inlay is based on John Lennon's famous self-portrait, and the fingerboard inlays depict icons reminiscent of John Lennon and the Beatles. The internal structure is rear-shifted and non-scalloped. It produces a tight, articulate sound with a quick attack. However, it doesn't feel harsh, and has the vibrant resonance characteristic of Adirondack spruce. It's truly impressive how it controls the sound without becoming unruly, bringing out its best qualities. The rear-shift pickup provides excellent tonal balance, and the non-scalloped pickup delivers a strong core and ample headroom, resulting in a powerful sound that can withstand even vigorous strumming. The sound is exceptional compared to the standard John Lennon 75th Anniversary model. This is a superior model not only in looks but also in sound. There are signs of repair in four places where the binding has peeled off on the body's waist, but this is unavoidable with ivoroid binding. The repairs are neat and barely noticeable at first glance. Aside from that, the body surface and pickguard have only very light, superficial scratches, making this a remarkably clean instrument. The neck is also in excellent condition, with plenty of saddle and truss rod remaining, ensuring that this collector's item remains fully functional. The Beatles and John Lennon still have a strong following. This is a perfect item for fans, and also ideal for actually playing their songs. This is a top-of-the-line model produced in a limited run of 75 worldwide, with only a very small number imported to Japan. If you missed out back then, or if you're looking to add it to your collection, please consider it. Original hard case included.
