Up for sale, a 2013 Martin Standard Series D-28, near-mint, and complete with the original molded hardshell case and hangtags. This Martin has been extremely well-kept over the last decade+, and the instrument has an open, articulate tone befitting a guitar that's had time to resonate beyond what one often expects in a "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 with a balanced response across all strings, attributable to the body shape and X-braced construction. Weighing 4lbs 12oz, this D-28 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
