Sound Pure's Take

  A fabled model, a legendary name, a holy grail of tonewoods.  It's a little spooky to play this one, I'll be honest...who knows how many living rooms, stages, bars have felt the sonorous, true-as-North voice this beautiful guitar holds?  It's easy to imagine moonlight serenades to some loved one, sing-alongs with old friends, wide-open sets at a since-closed dive somewhere out there along the path this balladeer's friend has travelled...this guitar's been telling stories for a long time.  That same powerful, bell-like voice has been ringing, arguably better and better, for many players and many more audiences over the years.  And that's far from over with.  Crucial work has been done to ensure that this old-guard treasure will be structurally sound and immediately playable for any who should be lucky enough to pull it out of the case today.
   Could this guitar be re-created?  In a way, yes, and it has been, many, many times.  Any luthier you meet will have plenty to say about the rolodex of Brazilian dreads they've seen over the years. But the age and character of this D-28's voice is something that even the best luthiers can only draw from, never conjure on the whole.  It's been a rare guitar since it was made in '69, right at the end of Martin's use of Brazilian as their standard rosewood, but the character this D-28 has developed carves out a class all its own for itself.  You've got to hear and feel it to believe me!  Call us up today to find out where you fit into this Martin's special story!
