Martin D-28 1941 Authentic Madagascar (USED, 2015)
Used
Does it lack low end? It does not. "Rear-X" guitars, as they're known in the vintage guitarosphere, are prized for their tempered bass response (i.e. less "woof" on a microphone). They also tend to have the narrower, 1 11/16" nut width, which some flatpickers find advantageous when crosspicking.
This guitar comes to us from its original owner, and remains in excellent overall condition. Our shop didn't have to do much more than clean it and change the strings. Fantastic tone and playability!
Priced with its original hard case.
