Default Martin D-28 Modern Deluxe, VTS Top

SOLD near mint condition D-28 Modern Deluxe model. This one is from early 2022 and the only thing keeping it from mint condition is a chip in the saddle that I noticed when taking photos (under the G string). It's minor and I included a pic for reference. Otherwise, it's in very nice condition with hardly any play time on it. Comes with the OHSC and all paperwork/warranty.

Nut Width: 1-3/4"
Top: Spruce VTS
Back/Sides: Indian rosewood
Binding: Flame Maple
Neck: Mahogany
Tuners: Gold Waverly
Bridge String Spacing: 2-5/32"

I'm selling because I have a preference for short scale guitars. This was a fun one to try but it mostly sat in my closet. I'll get the saddle height for you in a just a little bit. Thanks

I own a 2022 D28MD.....fabulous guitar. The tone is big and the neck plays like butter. You have it priced right, for sure. Also great pictures and write up. Good luck with your sale.

"VTS" stands for Vintage Tone System. It is Martin's lingo for torrified top. The spruce is Sitka.

About two months ago I had a chance to play a D-28MD in a high end shop and to my ears it was the best sounding guitar in the shop new or used. I wish I was in the market for a new guitar because I would be buying this in a flash. Unfortunately the wife has clipped my wings as far as any new guitars and I can't really blame her, it's a hard sell to try to say with having 14 acoustics that you need another.

Best of luck with your sale.
