Vintage Martin Guitar

This auction includes a Martin HD-28 V acoustic guitar hand crafted in Nazareth Pennsylvania in 1999.  It is certainly a one of a kind
guitar, as all Martins are.  The tone is absolutely beautiful and perfectly balanced.  The wood has aged well and the guitar is broken in from regular playing, which also is believed to improve tone.  This auction also includes the original hard shell crushed velvet case.

I recently had the Martin checked over by a local guitar builder.  His opinion was that the guitar body is in great shape for the year, with minor cosmetic and fret wear.  There is one area
under the pick guard where some small slices into the finish can be seen from someone tapping on
it with a pick (see picture nine).  This is not too noticeable unless you are really looking for it, and does not
effect the tone whatsoever.  The intonation, neck, tuning keys, bridge, etc. are perfect.  Mechanically it has no issues whatsoever.  There is no splitting or cracks in the finish or seams.  I always kept a humidifier in the case during the winter and kept it in favorable temperatures.    

These guitars are selling for around $3,000 new, and they are worth every penny.  There is NO reserve on this item!  Please feel free to request additional information and/or pictures.  Happy bidding!
