2013 Martin HD-28V (USA, Natural Gloss, OHSC)
Neat HD-28V 'Vintage Series' from 2013.
Nice feature-set on this model.
Herringbone binding, snowflake inlays, forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing, comfy 1 11/16 inch (43 mm) nut. V neck. Aging toner to the spruce top.
This particular example has some really nice wild grain to the Rosewood back. Perfect neck geometry. Finish has dulled and checked in areas giving the guitar a played-in feel. Small spot of reglued binding to rear near neck heel (binding has shrunken - see pics - common for the 'Grained Ivoroid' used in this period). A strap pin has also been added to the neck heel and at some stage a second pin at the butt of the guitar (now filled).
All in all, this is a sweet 20 year old Martin!
Serial number 1759904.
Includes the original Martin 'Cabernet' case.
