Another stunning brazilian D-28 here at Studio 1 Vintage, this one is serial # 161174

This guitar has been played well but still has more playing in to be done! Great condition overall for its age. Responsive low end true to the desirable rosewood qualities, top is in great condition too.

The D-28 is one of the most respected of all Martin models, and this very easy playing and fantastic sounding example is a prime example of why. It offers a powerful full-range sound and is more even sounding across the fingerboard than some while still maintaining the powerful bass response D-28's are prized for. This guitar is perfectly suited to period styles including purely acoustic Bluegrass of folk, acoustic/electric Honky Tonk or any more modern playing applications. This is a gem of an early "Folk-era" D-28, a smooth player and simply classically excellent flat-top guitar.

Has noticeable buckle rash.
