Description
The Martin Custom Shop D-28 1937 Authentic Brazilian Rosewood, Stage 1 Aging, is the ultimate tribute to Martin’s most coveted pre-war dreadnought. Brazilian rosewood back and sides bring legendary beauty, depth, and complexity, while the Adirondack spruce top and scalloped 1937 bracing produce huge projection, vibrant overtones, and a singing top end.
Authentic construction includes hide glue, a 12/4 genuine mahogany neck with period-correct barrel and heel profile, and all the fine vintage details—antique white binding, Style 28 multi-stripe rosette, diamond & square long inlays, aged Waverly tuners, and a vintage gloss finish with subtle relic wear. The result is a guitar that feels, looks, and sounds like a true original, but with the reliability needed for a lifetime of music.
