A player favorite! The D-28 is maybe the player favorite dreadnaught from the Martin product line - and for good reason. The finely upgraded Rosewood back & sides makes it a true cannon for flat pickers and singer songwriters alike. This D-28 dating to 1972 is no exception - clear and loud bass response with a nicely balanced high end. Traditional X bracing with typical large rosewood bridge plate, this guitar still retains the large sound we know and love in a 28. It comes to us in great shape, well maintained, with light surface wear, checking and a fairly typical pickguard crack that is now sealed. Non adjustable truss rod, the neck is still in good shape and is very straight. Original multi-ply binding appears is in great condition, less some discoloration present through the finish. The neck plays great with the perfect amount of relief with action that measures 6/64" in height at the twelfth fret of the sixth string, and 5/64" on the first. The saddle has been taken down, with about 6/64" visible above the slot. The neck profile has a bit more of a V feel to it on this example, and measures about 9.6" thick at the first position and about 11.6" at the eleventh before the curvature of the heel. It has a 1 11/16" nut width. Original Grover tuners present. Comes with the original molded plastic hardshell case.
