Up for sale, a 2016 Martin Limited Edition John Lennon D-28 in showroom-clean, 100% original condition, complete with the original hardshell case and factory paperwork. This premium Martin was produced in very limited quantities, with Lennon-inspired headstock/fingerboard inlays and peace sign centerline on the back.

Tonewoods include a Sitka spruce Vintage Tone System (VTS) top with rear-shifted X-bracing, East Indian rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck, and ebony fingerboard. This D-28 is notably smooth and round-sounding, with a relaxed, resonant quality attributable to the VTS treatment on the top, which effectively simulates natural aging for a worn-in, vintage-style response. The trebles are crisp and sparkling, and the wound strings have a bold, defined quality. Weighing 4lbs 10oz, this John Lennon D-28 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.

Neck Specs:

  • Wood: Mahogany
  • Shape: Modified Low Oval, measuring .810” 1st fret, .905” 9th fret
  • Fretboard: Ebony, Lennon-inspired inlays
  • Frets: Slender, no wear
  • Scale Length: 25.4”
  • Nut: 1 3/4”, bone
  • Headstock: Lennon self-portrait inlay, rosewood veneer
  • Tuners: Grover Rotomatics
  • Serialization: Stamp on neck heel dates to 2016, handwritten limited edition serial on label

Body Specs:

  • Wood: Sitka spruce top (VTS), East Indian rosewood back/sides
  • Bracing: X
  • Bridge: Ebony belly, compensated bone saddle
  • Marquetry: Grained ivoroid binding, peace sign centerline

This is an exceedingly well-kept example, with just a few faint scratches on the gloss lacquer finish, and the smooth gloss on the neck profile is flawless.

The original hardshell case is included, along with the factory paperwork.
