Product Description

Here to remind you why you fell in love with Martin Guitars in the first place, their Authentics Series models, like this D-28 Authentic 1931 are constructed the old way - with hide glue, throughout, and historically-accurate detailing confirmed by using a CAT scan machine located at the Smithsonian Institute. Based on a 1931 D-28 in their museum, this guitar features Madagascar rosewood back and sides, an Adirondack spruce top, and authentic 1931 D-28 appointments, right down to the neck barrel and heel. Martin' new Vintage Tone System (VTS) is employed for the top and braces.

The 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' 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.

Includes hardshell case.

I waited a lifetime to afford the Martin of my desires. This D-28 Authentic 1931 has exceeded all my desires of what I had hoped I could ever wish for. I opened the case and couldn't touch it for half an hour. It was if I had opened the vaults of the holy grail. Think I am BS' ing you, order one and you will see what i am talking about. I was a master cabinetmaker and woodworker in my working life, and the artistry and mastership of craft that went into this instrument is far more superior than anything I have ever attempted, or aspired to..

Martin creates the finest handcrafted instruments in the world. Why would I ever want anything else, other than another Martin!
