I’m also selling the hard case with it. For sale is a 1990 C.F. Martin Custom Shop dreadnought acoustic guitar, built in a D-size body with classic D-28-style appointments. According to the original Martin specification sheet, this guitar features a Sitka spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, and ebony bridge. It has a 25.4” scale length, 14 frets clear of the body, and a 1 11/16” nut width.  

This is listed as Model: Custom on the Martin spec sheet, so it is best described as a Martin Custom Shop D-28-style dreadnought, not a standard production D-28. It has the high-end tonewood combination Martin is known for: a Sitka spruce top for clarity and projection, paired with Indian rosewood back and sides for strong bass response and rich overtones.
