Freshly set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. In Very Good structural condition with recent neck reset, reglued bridge, fretwork, and other maintenance/repair work. In Good vintage cosmetic condition with scratches, nicks, edge wear, lost finish, and natural aging of parts and finish.
Martins of this age typically need a neck reset and other maintenance, so finding one where this work has already been done is a huge plus. This D-28 was recently sent to Portland Fretworks for refurbishment, which included a neck reset, fret work, bridge reglue, repaired cracks on top & back, pickguard replacement, and reglued bracing. All work was performed by our local Martin Authorized repair shop, Portland Fretworks, who are widely regarded as one of the finest luthier shop in the Northwest. You can count on their work being top notch.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
