Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
A fantastic Martin that won't break the bank! This Sitka/Rosewood dread is dressed up with gold hardware, abalone rosette, and Style-45 backstrip but carries all the classic and desirable qualities of a D-28 from the same era. Powerful and dynamic and in fighting shape with 5 brand new frets from our in-house luthier!
SP Luthier Notes: Partial refret (5), fret dress, and setup
