Widely regarded as the finest year to be a D-28 at the Martin factory, 1937 has been synonymous with the classic Martin Dreadnought sound ever since. So it should come as no surprise that once Martin got into the game of making spec-for-spec recreations of their original vintage instruments that they’d turn to the 1937 D-28 for inspiration. This is one of the original run of 50 D-28 Authentic 1937 guitars built in 2007 with Brazilian Rosewood–and compared to the later Authentic 1937 version with Madagascar Rosewood, the impact of the Brazilian is profound.

Everything about this guitar is period correct, down to the butterbean style tuner knobs. Here’s a short list: forward shifted and hand-scalloped Adirondack Spruce braces, bone nut and saddle, aging toner in the finish to reproduce that vintage yellow, “barrel and heel” neck profile (C at the nut, becoming a soft V at the heel), Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, Adirondack Sprue top, herringbone trim and zigzag back strip. Set up to be the loudest Dreadnought you can imagine, this D-28 Authentic 1937 has an enormous voice, epic sustain, and profoundly rich basses with bell-like trebles. A few minutes with this guitar, and you can tell why the originals are so exceedingly valuable.

A guitar from 2007 that plays and sounds like one from 1937? Not an everyday instrument! This D-28 Authentic 1937 is the real deal: powerful and rich, the perfect Bluegrass cannon.
One of the best modern Martins I've ever heard or played. It really does have the sound and feel of a 1937 Martin D-28. I can see why they decided to reproduce it like this down to the type of glue and finish used. Very few can afford the real thing and this is the closest that most guitarists are bound to get.
