This is a superb sounding, playing and reanably priced Brazilian Martin - it is a vintage original 1968 Martin Brazillian Rosewood D-28 and includes the original, blue thermo moulded Martin case.

It is not mint but it is all structually sound. There is an old, repaired crack on the top just by the lower bout (see pictures) it is not too big and it is not going anywhere. There is also a couple of cracks on the back which again are stable and not large either. Aside from that is is a great old Martin with a lovely darrk, chocolate Brazilian rosewood back and sides.

Finish is original as is I think everything else including the pick guard. The neck set is perfect and is a real joy to play. There are a few dings here and there plus some wear by the soundhole and the usual lacquer checking. Top is a gorgeous straght grained spruce andhas mellowed to a lovely honey colour. Back of the neck does have some wear and some marks but again nothing out of the ordinary for a played, but loved, vintage Martin.

As you can see from the photos, the Brazillian rosewood has fantastic, chocolate coloured grain and is nice and rich. It really is quite a beautiful instrument. Serial number is 224125 which places it firmly in 1967.

Tone of this amazing instrument is stunning, it is classic, vintage Brazillian rosewood 47 year old Martin tone - you will struggle to find finer and if you are after a vintage Martin D-28 tone machine with Brazillian rosewood then this is it. Action is surperb and easy to play at 3mm on bass side at 12th fret and even less on the treble side and there is still some room for adjustment on the saddle. There is no way it needs any kind of work or neck set, it really is lovely..!

 Tuners are original and are totally correct for the year having never been off the guitar. Case is the classic blue thermo moulded Martin case that even still has the handle intact but the logo is missing. No pickups have ever been installed and it has always been acoustic.
