Martin D28 Authentic 1937 - Madagascar 2014 - Gloss

For sale is a beautiful Martin D28 Authentic 1937 with Madagascar Rosewood back and sides. It is in Mint condition and it sounds amazing. Martin discontinued using Madagascar Rosewood on their guitars a while ago so these are somewhat hard to come by. Includes the original Martin hard shell case.

With Madagascar Rosewood back & sides, an Adirondack top, and full Authentic build features, this guitar produces the kind of tone that's made a herringbone the stuff of legend --it's powerful, crisp, and rich-sounding all at once, with the low-end boom demanded by bluegrass rhythm players. The finish is still shiny, and there are no significant cosmetic blemishes or fret wear. The setup remains excellent as well, with medium-low action under tension of medium strings and plenty of saddle height remaining.
