1939 Martin D-28 with herringbone trim, serial number 72834. Beautiful/original Brazilian Rosewood finish on back and sides - worth the price of admission alone.

This one has original tuning machines. Top finish has some crazing - does not affect the sound. Actionis fully adjustable to buyer preferencesby any authorized Martin service shop. Pera nearby Martin service shop, the bridge saddle is leaning toward the rosette and canbe easily adjusted. Top was replaced early 1970\'s by authorized Martin service shopfor formerowner prior to my purchase. Lifton hardshell case included.
