  • Description: Martin 0-28K made in 1928, serial # 346xx .. Martin 28 series koa guitars from this time period are among the most beautiful guitars ever made. This guitar crosses that threshold from musical instrument to art, understated but profound .. chocolate-brown, deeply figured tiger striped koa, herringbone top trim, zig-zag back strip inlay, white & black sound hole trim, white binding and trim, snowflake inlay on the ebony fingerboard, engraved tuners, pyramid bridge all combine to make a pleasant visual statement. This guitar retains its original flat frets, and is set up to play lap-style with a replacement raised bone nut. Its voice resonates punchy-strong mids and ringing highs. This guitar retains its original finish. Renowned Martin repairman David Musslewhite expertly refitted a new bridgeplate and made a small koa repair just north of the bridge. The original pyramid bridge has two small holes filled from an earlier attempt to attach the bridge. Bridge pins are replacements, end pin is original. Some wear to the finish below sound hole, and random scratches and nicks. Price Reduced>>
