Near Mint 2016 Martin HD-28V & mint HSC...$2300 shipped conus

[magictwanger]

No longer for sale..

There are two ways to grade this guitar .....
#1-If you have a strong magnifying glass it's near MINT(as is the Martin HSC case)
#2-If you don't have a magnifying glass it's pretty much MINT!...Seriously!

I'm asking a good $500 under the lowest new price that I know of,from any web based merchants.....I'd need a Postal Money order or Bank Check and am located in central NJ....Sorry,as I don't sell stuff too often,so I don't use paypal(though I did sell a nice guitar on this forum a few months ago).The forum member trusted me and got a nice guitar,which he thanked me for.

It has perfect action and has been kept in my guitar room(along with 7 other guitars) with exact humidity all year long.I'm kinda' fanatical about that,as anyone here ought to be too,btw.

Very classy dark-ish RW back & sides and a really nice subtle light-ish RW area along each side of the "back strip".Martin knew they had a nice set of RW for this one,so the top they chose was what seems to be at their upper tier,from a stand point of what I know about Sitka....It is about the tightest grain I've ever seen,with loads of silking.I compared it to a D-45 and found them about equal.I'm not trying to be a salesman here.Just giving my opinion.

Important....I'm not at all a computer person so am sorry if I have not posted pictures...but...I "am" HONEST!! I have sold guitars here and on UMGF,where i have a good reputation and am a member of the Collings Guitar Forum as well.I will have one of my employees upload some photos.She'll probably ask for a raise.-

There are tons of HD-28V pictures on the web...."that's what mine looks like"

! In Minty shape as well as the Martin hard shell case......This guitar was Cherry Picked and has it all! Looks wise it's a beauty and there are no scratches or swirls.Maybe 3 ultra tiny micro marks,about the size of a pin head.In better shape than most HD-28V's on dealers walls,from my experience....SUPER CLEAN!

If I have misrepresented this guitar in "any way" I'll be happy to give a complete refund as long as you return it in the "exact shape" and you pay the return shipping.....which....I know won't be happening,because it is a stunning instrument!.....

Thanks folks,Mark

If nothing else, create a craiglist account and list it locally. Add the images and copy/paste the link to your ad here. Surely somebody can help you get some pics on here. Sorry if that sounds rude or condescending but I think 99% would want to see a pic even if you text it to them.

I agree.I'm going to have one of my graphics people post them soon....I'll have pictures available upon request tomorrow.Thanks for the heads up.

For what it's worth, I've bought from Mark before via check with no issues. HD-28V definitely one of my favorites. I currently have an authentic and feel like I could easily revert back to a 28v in a pinch.

NO LONGER FOR SALE,AS I'VE DECIDED TO KEEP THIS GUITAR....WHAT WAS i THINKING?

[mattcran]

Good move! I've bought and sold them in the past and realized that there is more expensive, but not much better.

Thanks Matt and wishing you & your family the best.
