Sound Pure's Take

This is a really good one! Powerful and lush with plenty of string definition, too

I love this neck

It really lets you dig in and glide around 

It bears a handful of scratches and "dimples" but it's all subtle cosmetic wear 

It's been having fun

The Basics

The D-28P Dreadnought features a sleek, modern High Performance Neck for enhanced playability. The D-28P adds a Sitka spruce top to the East Indian rosewood back and sides. The result is pure Martin tone. Perfect for the intermediate and advanced player.
