The 2007 Martin D-28 Marquis is a vintage-inspired dreadnought that captures the tone, craftsmanship, and appointments of Martin's celebrated pre-war instruments. Featuring a solid Adirondack spruce top paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, this guitar delivers exceptional projection, rich bass response, and articulate highs. Golden Era-style forward-shifted scalloped Adirondack spruce bracing enhances resonance and responsiveness, while the traditional dovetail neck joint and Modified V neck profile provide an authentic vintage playing experience. The solid black ebony fingerboard features classic long-pattern diamond and square inlays, complemented by fine herringbone top trim, grained ivoroid binding, and a 1930s-style belly bridge with a long bone saddle. With its premium tonewoods, traditional construction, and elegant vintage detailing, the D-28 Marquis offers the powerful, dynamic sound that has made Martin dreadnoughts legendary.

Condition: Very Good. Shows light worming on the back, small impressions on the back of the headstock, a small ding on the top of the headstock, a scratch around a tuning post on the headstock, and small finish cracks around the bridge.
