1972 Martin D-28

per item
Like the guy I just saw lose a fight in the Waffle House parking lot, this is a forty-six year old with its share of battle scars. Unlike said gentleman who is undoubtedly now banned from the Lebanon, TN franchise, this guitar sounds balanced, clear, focused, and doesn't smell like a lonesome aromatic cocktail of Wild Irish Rose and pancake syrup. Apart from a neck reset, replaced frets, and a new pick guard, this guitar is all original though certainly well loved, as the last owner actively played it for the past forty years. The neck has a comfortable D profile typical of this era of Martin guitars, a 1 11/16" nut width, and a 25-7/16" scale ebony fretboard. Given the slight divot worn in the top below the pickguard over time, one would be correct in assuming that it sounds and feels pleasantly broken in. It also feels much less sticky than the Waffle House's floor after the entirety of an All-Star breakfast was slung across the dining area in a fit of rage. Includes the original gray/green plastic Martin Case. $2,000
