66martd28

NEW ARRIVAL A lot of people consider the Martin D28 to be the benchmark Spruce / Rosewood dreadnought, and a 60’s example is the most affordable way to get a Brazilian Rosewood example - the most desirable tonewood there is. Tonally it has a very complex sound, great depth and resonance, plenty of punch and attack, and well balanced with superbly articulated clarity. Dreadnoughts are considered to be the most versatile acoustic guitars, and this example sounds great strummed or fingerpicked, with great definition and sustain when soloing. Quite simply it's a classic, and at 50 years old it's matured really well. Visually the Spruce top has turned a deep honey colour, and the Brazilian Rosewood back and sides are beautifully figured. From a playability point of view, this guitar is fantastic, the neck has a great feel to it, and the action is just right. This is a great example of one of those guitars you play and it sets your mind racing, because it just sounds so familiar, it's like the acoustic sound you hear on so many classic 60's and 70's albums - it just has that wonderful tone. The guitar is in very well played condition with the bumps and bruises you’d expect from a well gigged guitar. There are no cracks the go through the wood, and there are several cleats inside the guitar to make sure no cracks appear in the future. The guitar has a top of the range K and K blend pickup installed, which features a transducer system and a condenser microphone with two rotary controls mounted inside the soundhole for blend and volume. It comes in a deluxe Martin hard case.
