Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

You won't believe how new this D-28 really is! This classic design from Martin gets a bit more help thanks to their torrefaction process and the bracing pattern/how they are scalloped is directly pulled from a 1931 D-28 that was in their Museum. If you want a guitar that is in excellent condition but looks and sounds like it was pulled from the 30's this gorgeous Martin should be on your radar! You probably know what to expect here but the sound is huge, powerful, and complex and will suit just about any style of music you'd want to play! Give us a call if you have any questions about this wonderful D-28 from Martin!

From Martin and Co.

Here to remind you why you fell in love with us in the first place, the new Authentics are constructed the old way - with hide glue, throughout, and historically-accurate detailing confirmed by using a CAT scan machine located at the Smithsonian Institute. Based on a 1931 D-28 in our museum, this guitar features Madagascar rosewood back and sides, an Adirondack spruce top, and authentic 1931 D-28 appointments, right down to the neck barrel and heel. Martin’s new Vintage Tone System (VTS) is employed for the top and braces.

The new Martin Vintage Tone System (VTS) uses a unique recipe that is based on the historic torrefaction system. The VTS acts much like a time machine in which Martin can target certain time periods and age the top/braces to that era. This focused method allows Martin’s craftsmen and women to recreate not only the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar, but also reproduce the special tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.
