Martin Custom Shop 000-28 Authentic 1937 Aged Ambertone Stage 1 Aging Adirondack Spruce and Rosewood

Martin Custom Shop 000-28 Authentic 1937 Aged Ambertone Stage 1 Aging Adirondack Spruce and Rosewood!

Here is a KILLER Martin 000-28 1937 Authentic Aged in sunburst. Truly a great guitar that is very open-sounding. It's a good one folks! The guitar is aged so it's hard to say it's mint as there are finish checking lines all over and a few scratches here and there. One on the back that we are guessing is after the fact but again hard to say. Comes from the original owner with the original case, COA, etc. K&K Pure Mini installed professionally so ready to gig now!
