For Sale: Martin 000-28 Sunburst - SOLD

MichaelD23 · #1 04-02-2018, 03:57 AM

For sale was my 2016 Martin 000-28 Sunburst. I'm the first and only owner of this classic styled short scale guitar with its tight-waisted Auditorium body shape. The 000-28 has solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, a Sitka spruce top with significant silking visible even through the burst finish, polished gloss finish and a hand-fit dovetail neck joint. This model produces a rich and full-bodied tone, making it the ideal guitar for the intermediate and advanced player. The rarely seen sunburst top incurred an upcharge of $250 new.

Exceptional almost-new condition. Pickguard cover still on (it's what makes the pickguard look wrinkly in certain light.)

Back to the top for this beautiful burst...!

Quite a bit of interest but nobody's pulled the trigger. Who wants this beauty?

MichaelD23 · #4 04-09-2018, 10:32 AM

Somehow it made it through the weekend unsold. Doubt it'll continue that way. Check it out!

Take another look at this beauty. Classic Martin tone with a beautiful sunburst that's seldom seen on the market. Grab it while you can!

If I had the funds and room for this I would snatch it up.

Nice looking guitar.

Good luck with this sale. One of my favorite guitars ever.

This is killing me... I'd love to have it, but my $$$ is tied up in another project. Hope you sell it soon, so it will stop tempting me....

Beautiful guitar. I just ordered a 2018 in Ambertone.

Seriously thought I had it sold yesterday to a guy (and the day before to a different guy). Lots of interest but so far nobody's plunked down their greenbacks. So it remains on here, a temptress in the night (and morning and afternoon, too...!)

I've now listed it on Reverb at a higher price, so c'mon AGF buddies. I've had tremendous good fortune buying and selling on this forum. Help me keep it rolling!
