Martin D-28 1937 Authentic Aged 2018

This one has some seriously delicious overtones!  The play-ability and feel is outstanding.  Martin did an excellent job with the light relic--rolling fingerboard edges, etc., to really make the guitar feel "right."  Extremely comfortable neck that starts thinner and rolled and thickens as you move up. The aging is glorious and the sound is heavenly Martin. Very dynamic--full range without being overly boomy or muddy.

Strap button installed.

OHSC included.

From Martin:

One of only 50 built!

If you’re looking for a new guitar that looks and sounds like you’ve
been playing it for 80 years, you have just found your holy grail of
guitars. The Aged version of the D-28 Authentic 1937 includes all of the
goodness that comes with Martin’s Authentic Series instruments, like
hide glue construction and hand-scalloped X bracing. Plus, the Vintage
Tone System (VTS) that ages the wood to replicate the sound of a vintage
Martin, but we didn’t stop there. We’ve now taken 50 of these amazing
guitars and methodically, painstakingly distressed them, inside and out,
in all the right places. The result is a tactile, visual, and auditory
experience that will transport you all the way back to the 1930s. And we
know you’re going to like it there. Stock is limited.
