1958 Martin D-28
It’s a top-only refin and presents quite well; we can’t figure out why it was refinished. There are no repairs to the braces, no cracks anywhere, the bridge plate is original and in excellent condition, and the original bridge was reinstalled, with well-hidden filled-in screw-holes. The neck is unmodified but for a strap button screw hole in the heel cap; the finish, nut and tuners are original. All together, it’s a pretty great D-28.
Sitka top with standard bracing, typical style 28 trimmings, replacement faux-tortoise pickguard. Set -up here with new Antique Acoustic pins and a new bone saddle. The guitar plays very well with action set at 5-7 64ths and a low saddle.
The neck has a soft V carve with typical 50’s depth (.856” at the 1st fret), and a 1-11/16” nutwidth. The frets are replacements that are nicely dressed and quite lightly worn.
With original hardshell case.
