I also have one of the first 50 of these. I've owned a bunch of Martins over 40 years. This one is my favorite by far.

Great price too!

I look at your post every time you bump it. Herringbone
d-28s are just about my favorite guitar look. I only found
out yesterday that only older and higher-end d-28s have
herringbone binding when I was talking about it to the
fellow at the vintage shop I visited... there was a
standard d28 with plain binding hanging on the wall...
