1983 Martin '150th Anniversary' D-28 (USA, Natural Gloss, OHSC)
Made in the 150th Anniversary year of Martin and signed inside by C.F. Martin the 3rd and C.F.Martin the 4th, this is an awesome, well travelled D-28.
It also has a little plaque inside the guitar with Anniversary Edition blah blah.
None of which would mean a thing if the guitar didn't sound good, but it does, and has an ultra comfortable, to me anyway, V shaped neck.
Now, it seems Martin made a version of the D-28 with Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, and I'd like to tell you that this is one of them, but it has the stock Indian Rosewood I'm sorry to say (the Braz rosewood ones from this time get, shall we say, crazy prices)
Thick layer of nicotine on this guitar, but frets are good, neck angle is not too bad. Saddle has around 1mm left to go, but action is at spec at the moment and I imagine should not give you too much trouble.
Cool little bit of Martin history, and for once this guitar does not sound as good as it looks, it sounds better!
Made in the USA
