{"product_id":"2012-martin-standard-series-d-28-dreadnought-acoustic-guitar-w-case","title":"2012 Martin Standard Series D-28 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar w\/ Case","description":"Up for sale, a 2012 Martin D-28 Standard Series dreadnought in exceptional condition and in perfect working order, complete with a Martin hardshell case. This Martin has an open, articulate tone befitting a guitar that's had time to open up and resonate beyond what one often expects in a brand-new guitar. Featuring solid East Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a solid Sitka spruce top, this D-28 has classic Martin dreadnought projection, percussive cut, and bold, full character, attributable to the body shape and X-braced construction. It’s very rewarding to strum, with ample projection, excellent string-to-string balance, and trebles that are sweet and sonorous. The guitar weighs 4lbs 10oz, freshly restrung with 12-54 bronze strings and professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike's Guitar Bar with easy-playing action.The mahogany neck has a medium depth oval profile carve with just enough roundness in the shoulders, measuring .845” deep at the 1st fret and .895” at the 9th. The slab ebony fingerboard ensures a certain glassy articulation, and the original slender frets retain their full factory height with well-rounded crowns, only exhibiting a hint of wear beneath the plain strings on the crowns of frets 1-3. This guitar plays cleanly up the 25.4\" scale with a straight neck and a responsive, optimally-adjusted truss rod. The bone nut measures 1 11\/16” in width. On the headstock face, the gold Martin logo is present on the rosewood veneer, and the Grover Rotomatic chrome tuning machines turn smoothly and hold pitch reliably.On the body, the carved and compensated bone saddle has plenty of height for future adjustment, and the ebony bridge sits flush with the top on all edges. The model and serial stamps are visible through the soundhole on the heel block. This guitar is crack free and well-kept, with cosmetic wear on the gloss nitro lacquer finish limited to a handful of minor dings on the lower bout on top, a few tiny finish chips in the clear coat along the binding, and some light buckle worming on the back. The satin finish on the neck profile has been buffed to a semi-gloss from contact with the palm, with a few shallow marks along the profile length that don't distract the palm while fretting.A vintage (decades earlier than the guitar) Martin-branded molded hardshell case is included.","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43856962879744,"sku":"1563913","price":2499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/products\/medium_c51a8199-d459-40ea-bf3b-ae99209169e2.jpg?v=1751514022","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/2012-martin-standard-series-d-28-dreadnought-acoustic-guitar-w-case","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
