This is a 1955 Martin D-28 Ser No: 141784. It is getting so hard
to find old D-28’s in original condition that haven’t
been messed with or scat (Cornish expression) around. This guitar
is all original with beautiful Brazilian Rosewood back and sides.
It has a unique and unusual pickguard which again is original
and was ordered from the factory by the original owner, whose
daughter sold it to my contact in the States stating “dad
picked down there and knew where he needed a pickguard to be".
I think it looks great. The guitar has great tone and volume,
and the sound is just what you would expect from a 50 year old
Martin. The guitar plays beautifully, and the action is perfect
because it has had a neck re-set. The neck has a v profile and
is the most comfortable I have ever played on a 50’s D-28.
The overall condition of the guitar is very good, and you only
have to look at it to see that someone really loved and cherished
this instrument. The guitar has two cracks (both professionally
repaired), a very small, tight back crack, and another thin crack
running by the center seam in the top which our luthier has inspected
and thinks might not be anything more than a lacquer crack, the
previous owner could have had it repaired as a precaution. The
guitar has been fully inspected and set-up by our luthier and
is now ready for another 50+ years of playing enjoyment. Supplied
with hardshell case. I don’t think you will find another
1955 D-28 as nice as this one for this price again.
PRICE………..£5495. inc VAT.
