Description

A lovely 1956 Martin D-28! This guitar is nearly all-original except for a new bone saddle, and has had a fresh neck reset from our friends at Portland Fret Works. 

This guitar is in Good Vintage condition and has some fret wear, plus all the finish checking, aging, and scratches you might expect to see on a 1950s instrument. The tuner for the D string is bent, but still functional. 

Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.  

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
