A great example of an early ’50s Martin D-28 that’s been played a lot over the years, and is in great playing shape for many more to come. This one comes to us from the period when Martin was still using Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, by the 1950s they were using Sitka Spruce tops. There are some repairs, see our specs tabs for more details, but our repair staff have gone over this instrument from tuners to tail to confirm a clean bill of health. 1951 is a good year with this beauty in your hands.

Martin has put together a lot of unique models over the years–but this D-50 Deluxe might just take the cake. This is number 32 of only 50 such guitars ever built, complete with Brazilian Rosewood body and heavily bearclawed Sitka Spruce and a sprawling panoply of inlays along nearly every surface. The fingerboard boasts an intricate tree of life vine that extends onto the headplate (itself trimmed in Abalone that ties into the fingerboard bindings and trim). The vine motif continues across the pickguard, and flanks the heel at both sides, as well as below the heelcap, and at the endgraft. The top is trimmed with Abalone herringbone–the first we’ve ever seen; ditto at the rosette and the back center strip. An additional perk? Star sapphires bound in 14-karat gold at the bridge pins and end pin. And all of this comes wrapped in a custom genuine, top hide leather hardshell case.
It’s amazing to us that Martin managed to build 50 of these D-50 Deluxes. The sheer amount of time and energy that went into this guitar beggars the imagination. An exquisite opportunity to acquire the center of your lifetime collection.
