Product information

Martin's new Custom Authentic D-28 models are among the most dynamic, exciting dreadnought guitars to come out of Nazareth, PA in many years. These instruments easily rival similar offerings from our favorite small-shop makers. Thanks to an Adirondack spruce top paired with premium East Indian rosewood, Authentic bracing pattern, and hide-glue construction throughout, the tone is powerful, with an uncommon, three-dimensional depth for a 28-style dread.

This particular guitar is just into the shop on trade, and it remains in excellent overall condition. Only the faintest signs of previous ownership are present, and it's been freshly setup in our shop. If you've had your eyes out for a Custom Shop D-28 Authentic, we'd suggest grabbing this one before it disappears (very pretty rosewood on this guitar as well). A strap button has been added to the neck heel. Priced with hard case.
