This is a masterfully restored Martin D-28 by Randy Lucas. Randy purchased this as a 1959 D-28E because of its amazing Brazilian Rosewood and painstakingly restored it to mid 1930s specs. See the letter below detailing the lengths to which Randy went to bring to life a mid 1930s D-28. The result is an instrument with all the pre-war tone but with modern quality and condition. None of the usual pre-war issues and flaws exist, this guitar is perfectly playable with unbelievable tone. Randy is regarded as one of the foremost Martin authorities in the country and this is a very special guitar because of his knowledge and dedication to the construction techniques and specifications of the Martin Company. He even reconstructed a T-bar neck. This is truly a better instrument than even a usual 1950s Martin would have been. It is much more similar to a 1930s instrument in every way. If you’ve dreamt of a 1930s Martin at a price lower than a new Brazilian Martin would cost, this is for you.
