Martin Authentic Series | D-28 Authentic 1937 Aged

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and utilising the finest materials available, this instrument stands as a testament to Martin's unwavering commitment to preserving the legacy of its Golden Era. The D-28s from 1937 are revered for their forward-shifted hand-scalloped X-bracing, Adirondack spruce tops, and wider neck profiles.

The guitar boasts a vintage gloss finish that exudes an aura of antiquity, as if it has weathered the passage of time with grace and dignity. But it's not just the outward appearance that sets this instrument apart; it's the meticulous attention to detail that truly elevates it to a league of its own.

The hide glue construction speaks to Martin's unwavering commitment to excellence. The hand-scalloped X-bracing, faithfully replicated from the originals, ensures optimal resonance and responsiveness, allowing each note to sing with unparalleled clarity and warmth.

While the D-28 Authentic 1937 Aged may look and sound like a vintage Martin, it also incorporates a modern innovation to enhance its playability and tone. The Vintage Tone System (VTS), employed to age the top and braces, captures the essence of a bygone era, imbuing the guitar with the rich, nuanced tones that define vintage Martins.

But perhaps what sets this instrument apart is its unapologetically vintage feel. With a 1 3/4" neck width and a neck shape authentically modelled after those from 1937, the D-28 Authentic 1937 Aged offers a tactile experience that transports players back to the Golden Era of guitar-making. It's a guitar that demands to be played with intention and reverence, rewarding players with a sonic tapestry that is as timeless as it is sublime.

For guitarists seeking the closest recreation to a vintage Martin at a fraction of the cost of a genuine pre-war, the D-28 Authentic 1937 Aged represents the ultimate holy grail. This instrument offers a more accessible alternative without compromising on quality.

However, it's important to note that the D-28 Authentic 1937 Aged may not be suited for every player. Its big old neck and lack of an adjustable truss rod may present a learning curve for those accustomed to modern builds. Yet, for those willing to embrace its idiosyncrasies, this guitar offers a gateway to a world of acoustic bliss and musical inspiration.

For guitarists seeking to own a piece of history, the D-28 Authentic 1937 Aged offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience the magic of vintage Martins.
