About This Listing

We are former Authorized Martin dealers, My Favorite Guitars, now retired, offering selected pre-owned Martin guitars.
In celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the 1934 introduction of Martin’s famous D-18 and D-28 Dreadnought guitars, we are pleased to announce two commemorative editions, limited to orders taken during 2009. The D-18 75th Anniversary Edition is based upon the D-18 Golden Era®, with the exception of a Madagascar rosewood headplate (instead of Brazilian rosewood) to allow for export shipments. The D-28 75th Anniversary Edition is based on a D-28 Marquis Madagascar. Both guitars have Adirondack spruce tops and a special 75th Anniversary Martin headstock decal. Each guitar bears a label personally signed by C. F. Martin IV and numbered in sequence. A special anniversary embroidered HarptoneTM case accompanies each instrument.
