About This Listing

Martin D-28 1995 CFM IV 55th Birthday Anniversary model. Built in honor of Chris Martin’s continuing dedication to the Martin Guitar Company, this guitar is a historic reissue "Solid Madagascar Rosewood Back and Sides" based on the specs of a 1955 D-28. To celebrate Chris Martin’s 55th birthday, 55. *This Instrument is #36 of #55* Historical details aside, this piece is a perfect example of why the D-28 has continued to be one of the most popular guitars in the world for almost 80 years. It is responsive to a light right hand attack; yielding a smooth sustain even at lower volumes. On the flip side, it has power and volume that will impress any heavy flat picker. The low end is full without getting mushy, while the note attack is clear and precise enough to cut through any group of instruments.
