  • Description: VINATGE MARTIN HD 28 The guitar was built in 1979 and refurbished in 2010. The instrument is really a custom job by the Martin company. It sounds like it as well. Very clear, balanced tonal quality. Rosewood back and sides and the top is a tight grained spruce. This is a one owner guitar owned by a bluegrass player. He kept it in immaculate condition. There are 2 saddles for this guitar. Since the owner liked the action high and proud, there is also the original saddle that was made by Martin. It is currently on the guitar. It features a Herringbone inlay around the top. The guitar was worked on over time the top was replaced in 2010. The work was done by a Martin authorized luthier and the new top and all the parts were made by Martin. I must say the job is perfect and I couldn't tell the top was new. The only way one can tell is that the binding is whiter than the back binding. Along with the top the pickguard and bridge are also new. The HD 28 comes with the Martin hard case.
