Used Martin Custom Shop D-28 Brazilian Rosewood Limited 1 of 50 2017

A lovely Martin custom shop limited edition D-28, this is #10 out of a run of 50 guitars. The serial number dates it to 2017. All of these D-28s were made with a ton of care and the finest materials. The sides & back on this instrument are true solid Brazilian rosewood, & it features an Adirondack Spruce top. Many of the photos included are taken on our shop bench with a powerful light to show off the beauty of the wood grain. It's all tied together with that amazing herringbone binding.

This is a spectacular instrument & the wood is finally starting to age and breathe a little bit, resulting in a crisp & warm tone.It's mellow & earthy, yet still projects extremely well. The owner has had it upgraded with a K & K pure mini pickup, which features three transducers mounted to the underside of the bridge plate offering a very great acoustic sound when plugged in.
