1968 C.F. Martin Brazilian Rosewood D-28
The king of tonewoods: Brazilian Rosewood ! and the king of vintage guitars: the pre-69 Martin D-28. This is a classic example of Martins workhorse dreadnought D-28 in brazilian rosewood, a prized tonewood that went out of production on an industrial scale in 1969, at which time Martin and many other producers changed to the much more available and much less expensive Indian Rosewood. This Martin D-28 is pictured as we bought it. It is in fabulous condition being crack free and all original. It is made of the most desirable straight grained brazilian stock, a luthiers dream and has patinated to a lovely, warm pumpkin brown colour. We have managed to save the pickguard and all else is good and healthy, with an incredible, sweet, resonant voicing with a huge sustain and ringing backtones that reaffirm the great value of Brazilian rosewood. A great guitar !! A great Martin Brazilian D-28 !!
Fast forward 13 years and she's back again !!!! In the same wonderful condition that she went out in all that time ago........with 13 more years under the belt of maturity and lovin' !!
