Default Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS 2016 SOLD

This 2016 Martin D-28 1937 Authentic VTS is a canon. Balanced, loud, articulate, gorgeous and amazing to play. I would call it mint but there is the slightest fret wear/polish on the first two strings (E, B) on the first two frets. Otherwise it is without a mark as visible in the photos. Partial trade offers considered..

This is not just a good guitar, it's among the best that Martin has to offer.

Default D-28

May have missed it but what is the nut width. Also, assuming the sides and back are Indian RW?

No it’s an Authentic so the back is Madagascar Rosewood. And the nut is 1 3/4 inches.

Per questions, a full hi-res file of photos available on Imgur. Also, per another question, the saddle is full height and the guitar is as received new with no adjustments to action. Plays great but has plenty of room to bring string height down for those who like lower action.
