Martin Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 with VTS Top
Presenting the new Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 with VTS Top.If you’re looking for the classic tone of a Pre-War Vintage Martin, but don't quite have the budget to find one in great condition, look no further.Perhaps the most revered vintage D-28s are the ones created in 1937 with forward-shifted hand-scalloped X-bracing, an Adirondack spruce top, and a 1 3/4" neck width.The D 28 Authentic 1937 is an updated version made with Guatemalan rosewood back and sides, and it includes some subtle spec refinements to make it even more faithful to the original.One of the major updates is a more accurate body profile based on dreadnoughts from the 1930s and 40s.Martin’s VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) is employed to age the top and braces, which captures the tone from the 1930s era.With the Authentic series, Martin’s craftspeople can recreate the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar and reproduce the particular tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.
