Up for sale, a 1991 Martin D-28 in collector-grade condition, complete with the original hardshell case, CoA/Warranty card, owner’s manual, and cleaning cloth. This exceedingly well-kept D-28 features the classic tonewood combination of an X-braced Sitka spruce top, East Indian rosewood back/sides, and a mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard.

Offering richness and depth, this D-28 has ample projection, highly responsive to player inputs. Notes have excellent balance across strings and in all registers. The bass register is full and round without being overly boomy, the midrange is smooth, and the trebles are bell-like and punchy. This D-28 weighs 4lbs 9oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
