*SOLD* 1921 Martin 000-28K AUTHENTIC VTS Series Figured KOA, Herringbone Hide Glue

Beautiful Martin 000-28K Authentic 1921 Reissue in Koa. The guitar is very clean with a few small indentations as shown, but nice otherwise. The guitar comes with the original case, case candy, and original shipping box. The guitar plays beautifully well and the sound is full. A wonderful model and priced right.

Based upon a pristine 1921 000-28K from the Martin Museum collection, this slotted head 12-fret is a completely faithful recreation of the original, featuring flamed Hawaiian koa top, back and sides, hide glue construction and a hand shaped neck without a truss rod. Martin’s new Vintage Tone System (VTS) is employed for the bracing. The new Martin Vintage Tone System (VTS) uses a unique recipe that is based on the historic torrefaction system. The VTS acts much like a time machine in which Martin can target certain time periods and age the top/braces to that era. This focused method allows Martin’s craftsmen and women to recreate not only the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar, but also reproduce the special tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.
