Martin D-28 Custom Shop Authentic 1937 VTS Aged (2023)

We are delighted to be able to offer you a D-28 1937 Authentic VTS Aged from the Martin Custom Shop today. This acoustic carries the popular sound and comfortable feel of historic acoustic models into the present day. The models from 1937 still serve as cornerstones of the art of guitar making and continue to set standards for acoustic guitar sounds. Based on these originals this dreadnought from Martin was crafted by making the body from premium selection Guatemala rosewood with complete hot-glue joints, a thin Adirondack spruce top for perfect vibration behavior and with the authentic lacquer formula of the '37 models. The “Authentic 1937” neck profile is super comfortable in the hand, making you want to sweep over the deep dark fingerboard made of solid ebony. The appearance of the D-28 is particularly stunning: classic Martin with great “Bold Herringbone” inlays, “Diamonds & Squares” fingerboard inlays and an attractive “MultiStripe 1937” rosette. The authentic vintage look is achieved primarily through the great Vintage Toner System (VTS), which ages the wood to reproduce the sound of an old Martin and gives the guitar a wonderfully matt lacquer finish. Furthermore, numerous hairline cracks and various quirks have been applied in exactly the right places to replicate the look of a real old one. But what we are always most interested in is of course the sound of the magnificent piece. And here you can really draw from the full! Fantastic frequency spectrum, classic, balanced and powerful D-28 sound. These acoustics are loud and voluminous, but despite all their assertiveness they are also sufficiently warm, extremely differentiated and present. We are pleased to be able to offer you this guitar in top condition except for the imprint of a guitar stand on the back of the guitar and a small trace of use on the case.
