C. F. Martin & Co / D-28 / 1961 / Natural / Guitar
This Martin D-28 1961 is the real thing. A players dream – it sounds like nothing you have ever heard before.
From its introduction in 1931, the C F Martin D-28 has been a successful, reliable design used by countless guitarists in performance and recordings.
The C F Martin D-28 shares a basic body design with other D or Dreadnought series bodies, and features a Spruce top paired with Rosewood for the back, sides and headplate, Mahogany for the neck and Ebony for the fingerboard and bridge.
This is a post-war guitar and its construction details indicate that dating. Pre-war guitars had Herringbone purfling around the top and elsewhere.
It’s a treat to play a guitar like this. The tone is rich and full with the typical Rosewood warmth, while the fine Spruce top provides sparkle and clarity even when played hard. It sounds like a dream and we had it played by some professional musicians who confirmed that it is an extraordinary instrument.
This Martin D-28 1961 plays well and has had a neck reset. The neck is straight and the action low. It is in original condition with just the right amount of wear from play and use, to add to the vintage vibe. The guitar has the original finish, tuners, pickguard … everything only during the neck reset it has received a new bridge. No cracks, repairs and nothing.
It comes with the original case.
