Product information

This 1973 Martin D-28 has just arrived on trade! It's a fantastic guitar for a player who values sound above all else -- if you're shopping for a D-28, here's a great chance to nab one that's in beautiful structural condition and carries the tone of a 50+ year old instrument.

The guitar was fit with a pickup at one point; and an output jack was added to the treble side (see photos). Other than that , expect to see only standard signs of usage (minor dings, scratches, worn finish on the soundhole, etc.) There's plenty of saddle showing, should the next owner want low action, though the current setup is dialed in very well for a strummer/flatpicker. Priced with hardshell case (its handle is broken).
