Amazing Martin D28 Authentic 1941 VTS. The D28, the guitar that all Dreads are compared to and this Authentic version is arguably one of the best Martin has made. Powerful and Sweet, classic Martin sound that is very balanced, great bass, midrange and trebles in excellent condition, original owner. Serial number 1935536 built in 2015. Wide grain Adirondack top(Martin Vintage Tone System - VTS), Madagascar Rosewood back and sides, Hide glue construction, Waverly tuners, authentic rearward shifted X bracing, 1 11/16th" nut, an absolute classic beauty in sight and sound. Has some light usage marks that can be seen if held in the right light, a small ding shown in one of the pictures about size of a pin head on the lower bout where your arm is when playing and some marks on lower side of neck(happened when brought in for tune up) that is there but hardly notice, otherwise in excellent shape. Spent most of it's life with me in humidified, non smoking room. I love this guitar, it is well balanced and smooth sounding, have gone back and forth between selling/trading and keeping it, but have finally come to the realization that I need a wider nut, thus am selling to finance another guitar with a nut that is better suited to me. Not interested in trades at this point, thanks for looking. $XXXX Shipped to Continental US.

HERE'S WHAT THE MARTIN WEBSITE SAYS ABOUT IT

Here to remind you why you fell in love with us in the first place, the new Authentics are constructed the old way - with hide glue, throughout, and historically-accurate detailing confirmed by using a CAT scan machine located at the Smithsonian Institute. Based on a 1941 D-28 in our museum, this guitar features Madagascar rosewood back and sides, an Adirondack spruce top, and authentic 1941 D-28 appointments, right down to the neck barrel, heel, diamond, head taper, and slots. Martin’s new Vintage Tone System (VTS) is employed for the top and braces.

The new Martin Vintage Tone System (VTS) uses a unique recipe that is based on the historic torrefaction system. The VTS acts much like a time machine in which Martin can target certain time periods and age the top/braces to that era. This focused method allows Martin’s craftsmen and women to recreate not only the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar, but also reproduce the special tones previously reserved for vintage instrument

After some soul searching, have decided to put back on the market. Love this guitar, tried to make the nut work, but just a hair too small for me, this will be one I regret selling because it sounds amazing.
