Up for sale, a 1978 Martin D-28 in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. This Martin benefits from service due an instrument of its vintage including a neck reset, refret, and reseated pickguard.
Featuring East Indian rosewood back and sides and a Sitka spruce top, this instrument has a classic Martin dreadnought tonal profile. Offering richness and depth, this D-28 has ample projection, highly responsive to player inputs, with Martin's signature piano-like clarity and string-to-string balance, and just the right amount of natural compression when hit hard with a flatpick. The midrange is smooth, the bass register is full and round, and the trebles are crisp and bell-like, with an open, relaxed quality only achieved via a spruce soundboard that has had decades to season. This D-28 weighs 4lbs 8oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Mahogany
-Shape: Soft V, measuring .860” 1st fret, 1.005” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Ebony, dot inlay
-Frets: Narrow/tall (refret), faint wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-3
-Scale Length: 25.4”

There are some tight and professionally repaired splits on the treble-side rim at the waist, and one longer crack repair on the lower bout on top. Further cosmetic wear includes light buckle rash on the back at the upper bout and some small dings on the body. The neck profile is smooth to the palm, with a few marks on the profile length buffed smooth through play.
The original black molded hardshell case is included.
