Martin D-28V Vintage Herringbone Reissue, Mint

 
Up for Sale a Martin D-28 Vintage Herringbone Reissue with Fishman Pickup System:
 
As you can see from the pics this Martin is in unbelievable condition and plays like a dream. Our guitar luthier at the studio set this accoustic up with extreemly low action so it can play accoustic lead or rythm. the intonation on the 12th fret is pefect and it is setup to currently use 11-52 light gauge accoustic strings. You will be thrilled with the quality build of this recreation of the 28V Vintage Dreadnought. The added scalloped bracing gives this D-28 more bass and bottom end than the standard D-28s like the Clapton version today.

During the 1980s, Martin made some custom order and short production-run reissues of the legendary pre-World War II model D-28. The pre-War D-28s are affectionately known as “herringbones” or just “bones” by virtue of the herringbone marquetry inlaid along the perimeter of the top. The 1980s reissues proved to be popular enough that Martin introduced a pre-War reissue series in the 1990s. This Vintage series included the D-28 in 14-fret (HD-28VR) and 12-fret (HD-28VS) versions, the D-18VR, the D-18VS, the OM-28VR, the 000-28EC Eric Clapton signature model, and the D-45VR. These guitars are not true reproductions of the orginals, however. The HD-28VR shown here has some features not found on a pre-War D-28 including a satin finish neck, smaller “modified” V-shape neck profile, adjustable truss rod, and Indian rosewood body. Regardless of the modernization, the HD-28 still has the classic Martin dreadnaught sound.
