{"product_id":"martin-d-28-1978","title":"SOLD - Vintage Martin D-28 - USA 1978","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"188\" data-end=\"841\"\u003eThe Martin D-28 has long stood as one of the most recorded and recognised dreadnought acoustics ever built. Favoured by players such as Neil Young and Clarence White, the D-28 became a benchmark for powerful yet balanced acoustic tone across folk, country, and rock. Jimmy Page notably used a late 1950s D-28 for early Led Zeppelin recordings including “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You,” “Black Mountain Side,” and “Ramble On,” helping cement the model’s place in classic rock history. By the late 1970s it remained a cornerstone of Martin’s lineup, valued for its strong low end, clear top, and projection that suited both flatpicking and singer songwriter work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"843\" data-end=\"1251\"\u003eThis 1978 example presents very well and has been carefully kept, showing only minor player wear consistent with its age. It retains the open, authoritative voice the model is known for, with a strong fundamental and articulate high end that sits comfortably in both solo and ensemble settings. As is common with Martins of this era, it shows the typical pickguard lifting issue, noted here for transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1253\" data-end=\"1400\"\u003eOverall, it stands as a tidy and honest vintage D-28 that reflects the durability and consistency of Martin’s Nazareth production during the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"952\" data-end=\"958\"\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"960\" data-end=\"981\"\u003eAction at 1st Fret: 0.75 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"983\" data-end=\"1005\"\u003eAction at 12th Fret: 2.25 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1007\" data-end=\"1032\"\u003eNeck Depth at 1st Fret: 22.9 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1007\" data-end=\"1032\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNeck Depth at 12th Fret: 27.3 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1034\" data-end=\"1046\"\u003eNut Width: 44mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1048\" data-end=\"1069\"\u003eWidth at 12th Fret: 54mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1071\" data-end=\"1080\"\u003eWeight: 2.2kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1082\" data-end=\"1094\"\u003eYear: 1978\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1223\"\u003eBody Style: Dreadnought acoustic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1225\" data-end=\"1244\"\u003eTop: Solid spruce\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1246\" data-end=\"1282\"\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides: East Indian rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1307\"\u003eFinish: Natural gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1309\" data-end=\"1325\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1327\" data-end=\"1354\"\u003eNeck Profile: Low profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1356\" data-end=\"1376\"\u003eFingerboard: Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1378\" data-end=\"1393\"\u003eBridge: Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1395\" data-end=\"1414\"\u003eBracing: Non scalloped X braced\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1416\" data-end=\"1437\"\u003eScale Length: 25.4\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1439\" data-end=\"1455\"\u003eTuners: Grover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1457\" data-end=\"1480\"\u003eCase: Hard shell case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1482\" data-end=\"1523\"\u003eCrafted in: Nazareth, Pennsylvania, USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53839157231935,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G86013332","price":2497.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/26041-1.webp?v=1782095088","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/martin-d-28-1978","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
