2022 Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS Guatemalan Rosewood

A 2022 Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS in Guatemalan Rosewood, this flagship model faithfully recreates one of the most revered pre-war Martins with unmatched attention to detail. The Adirondack spruce top with VTS delivers a broken-in, vintage response right out of the case, paired with Guatemalan rosewood back and sides for deep, piano-like lows, rich overtones, and shimmering highs. Built with hide glue construction and forward-shifted scalloped bracing, it offers exceptional resonance, power, and dynamic range. The Authentic 1937 neck carve provides a substantial, period-correct feel, making this an inspiring instrument for serious players and collectors alike.
