The most famous model among Martin guitars is the "D-28." Born in 1934 as a dreadnought model with the same 14-fret joint as today's models, it remains a beloved world standard model that transcends time. This particular instrument is a used item from 2014. It features a Sitka spruce top, rosewood sides and back, ebony fingerboard and bridge, mother-of-pearl fingerboard dots, black pickguard, checkerboard backstrip, and a retrofitted Fishman Matrix Infinity pickup. The latest D-28 specifications, which will be changed in 2025 to forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing, incorporate some of the sound-making elements of the pre-war era while also incorporating modern elements such as a thinner, wider neck, resulting in a specification that is both traditional and modern. This instrument is the specification before the changes. The tuners are Grover Rotomatic tuners of the milk bottle type, reminiscent of the 1970s specifications. Unlike current models, the nut width is 42.9mm, a neck that those who find the current nut width too wide should definitely try, as it offers a grip that is easy to use even when fretting with the thumb. It's easy to see why there are a certain number of people looking for this specification. Furthermore, because it uses standard X bracing instead of forward-shifted bracing, the strength around the bridge is increased, resulting in a more even and robust sound. The stable sound, which combines a heavy resonance and sustain, is truly exceptional, offering a high level of expressiveness that is tailored to the player. This is a guitar that can be enjoyed whether you are using a powerful strumming action or a delicate fingerstyle playing style. The pickup is an aftermarket FISHMAN MATRIX Infinity. It is an active under-saddle piezo type, and the volume and tone controls mounted in the soundhole allow for intuitive sound shaping. There are signs of repair in several places where the body binding has peeled off, and some paint checking is visible. Due to shrinkage, there is a gap of about 2mm at the binding seam, but this is only cosmetic and does not affect the sound. Some light weather checking is visible on the top, commensurate with its age, but only when held up to the light. There is a shallow, worm-like scratch near the neck on the 6th string side, and several small dents on the body and back of the neck, but there are no cracks, and it remains in beautiful condition. The neck is straight and in good condition, with plenty of truss rod and saddle remaining, making it easy to play. There are some signs of maintenance, but these are due to the previous owner's fondness for the instrument. It is in good condition and can be used for many years to come. The price is reasonable, making this a great opportunity to own a D-28, a timeless standard. Please consider adding it to your collection. Original hardshell case is included.
