Up for sale, a 2017 Martin Standard Series D-28 in near-mint condition, complete with the molded hardshell case, hangtags, and case candy. This well-kept Martin has a warm, relaxed tone befitting a guitar that's had a handful of years to open up and resonate beyond what one often expects in a "new" instrument. 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. The treble response is notably punchy and smooth, and the wound strings are big and full without any unwanted boominess. Weighing 4lbs 10oz, this D-28 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
