Only listing as excellent due to the slightest pick scratches in direct light angle. I had highly reputable Strange Guitarworks out of New Orleans Plek this guitar and it plays and sounds fantastic as a result. No reason to sell other than I am moving out of an apartment and looking at houses which are outrageous now.
From Martin:
Perhaps the most revered vintage D-28s are the ones created in 1937 with forward shifted hand-scalloped X-bracing, Adirondack red spruce soundboard and a 1 3/4" neck width. This addition to the Authentic series is a recreation of the original 1937 model offered with Madagascar rosewood back and sides. Martin’s new VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) is employed for the top and braces.
