2021 Martin Custom Shop D-28 1937

A beautifully built 2021 Martin Custom Shop D-28 1937, this model captures the power, depth, and vintage character of a pre-war style dreadnought with authentic-era construction details. Adirondack spruce, forward-shifted 1937 scalloped bracing, and East Indian rosewood deliver huge punch and clarity, while the Vintage Gloss finish and Golden Era appointments give it a distinctly old-world feel. A superb example of Martin Custom Shop craftsmanship.
