Offering very nifty 72 Martin D-28

Read ALL about it:

SOLD

This had over $700 worth of Neck set, bone setup, slight pickguard crack repair, and fret work by Tim Luranc, of Taylor Repair, El Cajon. Tim was head Luthier for R.Taylor the entire six years they built. Now retired... my pal.

Action: My steel rule shows just under 6/64" on E and just over 4/64" on e. It is just a little bit higher than my usual wimpy 5/64" and 4/64... haha. The action at Nut is perfect as Tim always nails that for sure

I would be very happy if this went to someone in the AGF family. It is a sweet guitar and set up is REALLY NICE. Tim did setups for tons of Taylor artists, including John Denver, Prince, America, and hundreds more! Neither my friend nor I are Dreadnought guys. He traded it to me about three years ago, and I thought he might eventually want it back, but when he visits we play it for a bit think how nice it plays and sounds, and go back to our 12 frets... so it does need a new home.

The PG crack is fixed perfectly and complete stable. Thanks Tim!

I should mention a funky cigarette burn? On LB side. Putting pic up... BTW, no cigarette smell in guitar or case. Pop very rarely smoked when drinking, and this axe was never gigged. Extremely clean otherwise!

Any questions just ask.

Carry on and remain musical

This needs a new home!

Hard to overstate the TLC setup. This needs NOTHING.

A couple inquiries but still here, for the moment...

Everyone have a fantastic weekend

A few tire kickers, and a couple inquiries but still here and ready to go!

Cheers

Hey Paul...that is a very nice guitar.
This looks very well kept for a 47 year old.
I can imagine the broken-in tone and depth this one has.

A couple inquiries on the compensation.

Tim did a new compensated bone saddle when he did the neck set and the new bone Nut. This axe is "in spec"

Thanks Alan! Hope all is well in your world.

A fine weekend to all

Paul

Someone wants this...

I have sold a few guitars here with Tim Luranc setups and every new owner was thrilled with their instrument ! Really!!!

Happy Tuesday.

This is a mighty nice axe and needs nothing. Slow market, but well worth the reasonable asking price IM(not so)HO

Cheers

Much interest this weekend. Neck angle perfect. Action just below 6/64" E and just above 4/64" e Nut action spot on.

Tims setups rule.

Cigarette? Pop would occasionally smoke when partying ... small bummer, so there it is. Why I dropped the price.

Neck shot and top too...

Many more pics on Reverb and even longer winded description...

That cigarette burn

Looks like he passed out while playing too!

Sweet guitar though, looks like it's ready to be played and it's already broken in for you! GLWS

Guitars44me · #11 05-06-2019, 05:30 PM

He may have taken a little nap...

BTW, no cigarette smell in guitar or case. Pop very rarely smoked when drinking, and didn't drink much...and this axe was never gigged. The mark is only about 1/4" and is on the Butt end just behind where your arm sits. Not even certain it is a burn. Might just be a ding with dark glue??? Very clean otherwise!

SOLD THANKS
