Yes that's a really nice sounding D-28.

I couldn’t fathom a guitar sounding any more articulate and alive than this. To each his own but…muddy? Agree to disagree.

Well, it sounds fab to me. The D45 is no slouch. He plays beyond well. I sure wish I could get him to do some work for me but if he has a long backlog, that's a problem, as I'm 70! I should have contacted him long ago.

A follow-up to that original video on the 1934 Martin D-28. Kimsey answers questions from viewers about the instrument, and then plays it some more. The guitar sounds fantastic to my ears.

I bet it sounds sooooo much better live. Those Rode NT1 mics can be a bit tinny depending on what muc-pre they are using.
