4/19: additional views of Madagascar rosewood back added at the end of the thread
OPEN TO TRADES--especially short scales
***price drop to $3200 or best reasonable offer***
***please notice edit below re: neck profile: it's a low profile, not PA***
For sale is my Custom Shop Martin D-28 guitar with a gorgeous Italian Alpine top and Madagascar rosewood back and sides. Look at the tight grain on the Italian Alpine spruce and the figuring on the Madagascar rosewood back and sides--this is the real stuff!
It has been played for barely a couple of hours, as you can see from its pristine condition. The only mark to speak of is in the grain -- see photo with my thumb in it for relative scale. It's not a ding and you can't feel it at all--it was there when I bought it. Here are the specs:
Solid Italian Alpine spruce top
Solid Madagascar rosewood back and sides
Herringbone trim
Ivoroid binding
Bone nut and saddle
Mahogany neck
Ebony bridge
Ebony fingerboard
Dovetail neck joint
1 11/16" nut width
25.5" scale
***low profile neck***
Silver vintage tuning machines
Note: I upgraded the bridge pins, but I have the originals and will include both sets for you
Financial circumstances are forcing me to sell, otherwise I would never consider selling this one.
