This is a guitar with all the strength, projection, and vintage tone that only a vintage Martin can provide. The 60’s were a great decade for Martin guitars, and this 1967 D-28 shows it with its Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and Sitka Spruce top. All that premium-grade tonewood, combined with almost 50 years’ of musicmaking, make for a complex and responsive guitar with an expansive middle register and an articulate, tight low-end. There’s no overwhelming boom-chuck here: just an instrument optimally balanced across its registers and coupled with great projection. The Ivoroid and Mother-of-Pearl appointments are simple and matter-of-fact, like the tone; a guitar which is ready to get to work. This D-28 is true vintage: the woods have opened up well, and it has the vintage look of an instrument well-played for hundreds of hours. Plus, we’ve refretted the fretboard and reset the neck, so this D-28 from the end of the sixties (and hence the end of production Brazilian Rosewood Martins) plays like its brand new and is in great shape for another thirty years’ worth of tunes. This guitar comes with a molded Martin Hardshell case.
