1979 Martin Custom D28 Guitar – WOW

$3,499.00

Mandolin Brothers Custom D28 in EXC condition with recent neck set.   It’s very clean for a nearly 40 year old guitar.  No cracks and only some very light crazing – have to roll it in the light to see it.  Great looking and sounding guitar.  Action is 3/32 / 2/32 at 12th.   Don’t miss this special piece of Martin history.

Herringbone Reissue, superbly rare and in great condition. This is the very first reissue that Martin ever made, specially ordered by Mandolin Brothers from Martin before there was a custom shop. Martin agreed to build these guitars for Mandolin Brothers based upon Stanley Jay’s 1934 Martin Herringbone D-28. Only 125 were ordered and sold very quickly at the time, now this model is incredibly revered by those in the know. A true flatpicker’s dream, sounds absolutely stunning.

New guitars don’t sound like this!
