Martin D-28 Custom Shop Authentic 1937 Vintage Low Gloss (2021)

We are delighted to be able to offer you a D-28 1937 Authentic Vintage Low Gloss from the Martin Custom Shop today. This acoustic combines the popular sound and comfortable feel of historic acoustic models with today's demands for practicality. The models from 1937 still serve as cornerstones of the art of guitar making today 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 East Indian 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. To meet today's expectations the guitar has been given an adjustable truss rod as the only modern update, so that individual settings can be made according to personal preferences. The “Authentic 1937 V Standard Taper” 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 smooth, glossy vintage gloss finish, which gives this guitar a wonderfully matt lacquer surface. But what always interests us most of course is the sound of this gem. And here you can really draw from the full! Fantastic frequency spectrum, classic, balanced and powerful D-28 sound. This acoustic is loud and voluminous, but despite all its assertiveness it is also sufficiently warm, extremely differentiated and present. We are pleased to be able to offer you this guitar in top condition with only minimal signs of use.
