1968 Martin D-28 | Brazilian Rosewood | Fresh Neck Reset & RefretWant a Brazilian Rosewood Martin D-28 rivaling earlier 1950s models that won’t destroy your bank account? Here’s your chance.Up for grabs is a 1968 Martin D-28 that surprisingly sounds almost as great as a 1950 D-28 I recently sold. Now benefiting from a professional neck reset and refret by renowned Chicago luthier Geoff Benge, this guitar is ready for decades of playing.TONEEasily the second best sounding Brazilian D-28 I’ve owned. The first best sold for multiples of my list price for this guitar, and the tonal difference isn’t as large.This specific D-28 is overtone rich without sacrificing note separation and, although bass heavy, isn’t woofy.Its sustain is its most impressive tonal feature. Strike an open G and it will ring, loud, proud and with authority, for a length of time that will make you chuckle with bemusement.PLAYABILITYFreshly reset and refretted by Geoff Benge, this D-28 now sports medium-low action with a tall, new saddle.The result is an exceptionally versatile vintage dreadnought, equally comfortable with delicate fingerstyle passages, intricate single-note runs, hybrid picking and aggressive flatpicking. Its combination of responsiveness, sustain and note separation makes it a remarkably adaptable instrument across playing styles.Of note, the neck profile has a comfortable amount of girth, reminiscent of an early 1950s D-28, just like its tone.CONDITIONA well-played, structurally sound vintage D-28 with the following repairs and modifications:Fresh professional neck reset and refret by Geoff Benge, with a tall new saddle and medium-low action.Finish: Original, with minor touch-up near the bridge Bridge/plate: Replaced ebony bridge with a small spruce patch adjacent to it. Likely original bridge plate with an oversized rosewood helper plate. Cracks: Several minor cracks, all stable. Pickguard: Replaced, likely as a proactive measure to avoid a B-string crack.SPECSBrazilian rosewood back and sidesSpruce top1 11/16” nut widthEbony fingerboard and bridgeFresh neck reset and refret by Geoff BengeTall new saddle, medium-low actionModern hardshell case
