Up for sale, a 2016 Martin D-28 Marquis in showroom-clean, 100% original condition, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. Inspired by Martin’s finest Pre-War dreadnoughts, this D-28 is a premium Marquis variant, boasting top-tier tonewoods and cosmetic appointments, with features including an Adirondack spruce top with forward-shifted X-bracing, a modified V neck, Waverly tuning machines, herringbone purfling, and grained ivoroid binding.
Exceptionally even-tempered and balanced in the way that only the best Martins can be, this D-28 Marquis is crisp, punchy and immediate; naturally, there’s tons of projection on tap, and the low end is bold and clear with a high volume ceiling, yielding just a touch of natural compression when digging in with a flatpick. Weighing 4lbs 7oz, this D-28 Marquis benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Mahogany
-Shape: Modified V, measuring .885” 1st fret, 1.005” 9th fret
-Fretboard: Ebony, abalone notched square and diamond inlays
-Frets: Slender, no wear
-Scale Length: 25.4”
-Nut: 1 3/4”, bone
-Tuners: Waverly, open-gear
Body Specs:
-Wood: Adirondack spruce, East Indian rosewood
-Bracing: Forward-shifted X, scalloped
-Bridge: Ebony belly, bone saddle
-Serialization: Stamp on heel block dates to 2016, “Dreadnought Centennial” stamp
-Marquetry: Herringbone purfling, grained ivoroid binding
-Plastics: Tortoise pickguard
The top has Martin’s Aging Toner, and the gloss lacquer finish on the body has been extraordinarily well kept over the past decade. While technically a “used” instrument, we cannot find any marks of playwear on the body or the satin-finished neck profile.
The original black tolex hardshell case is included, along with the hangtags.
