{"product_id":"martin-d-28-1959","title":"Martin Acoustic Guitars - 1959 D-28","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis used \u003cstrong\u003eMartin D-28\u003c\/strong\u003e was a well-deserved \u003cspan\u003erepair\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e project.\u003c\/span\u003e Beneath a thick layer of smoke and grime was an incredible guitar, and now it looks absolutely great. The neck has been professionally reset, and the fingerboard was re-fretted - and, fortunately, it was not planed thin and remains a nice factory dimension. The nut has also been replaced. While the original bridge was cracked and shaved thin, a new, exact-sized and -shaped Ebony bridge with a bone cut-through saddle was installed in its place. Likewise, the bridge plate is an exact replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dread has seen plenty of wear over its nearly 60 years of life: a center seam top crack is present, but it's been glued and cleated; a 4\" back crack near the center seam at the lower bout has been repaired and glued; and moisture-related finish chipping at the lower bout is visible, but limited to the finish (the wood is not affected). All of the restorations were completed professionally and with hide glue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar was obviously used a lot, though definitely not abused - and now it's ready for a second life. It plays and sound great, while being incredibly quick and responsive regardless of playing fingerstyle or flatpicking. The tuners are original, as are the tortoise-inlaid bridge pins. The quarter sawn Brazilian rosewood back and sides are beautiful - the quality of which is to find these days. This \u003cstrong\u003eMartin D-28\u003c\/strong\u003e from 1959 has only one previous owner and is now ready to find it's second. Its original (and road-worn) case is also included.
