The Martin Custom Shop D-28 1937 Madagascar Rosewood is a limited-edition acoustic guitar built for discerning players who demand exceptional tone, craftsmanship, and reliability. Only 50 units are available worldwide, each constructed using high-grade tonewoods and authentic vintage specifications to offer a playing experience that closely mirrors the iconic pre-war originals.
This model features a solid Adirondack spruce top paired with Madagascar rosewood back and sides. Adirondack spruce is known for its power, clarity, and dynamic range, making it ideal for players who need projection and definition across all registers. The Madagascar rosewood provides rich overtones, a complex harmonic profile, and excellent low-end response, delivering a well-balanced sound suitable for both fingerstyle and flatpicking.
The internal bracing follows Martin's Authentic 1937 Forward Shifted X pattern, hand-shaped from Adirondack spruce and attached with traditional hide glue for optimal resonance and long-term durability. The inclusion of an adjustable truss rod offers modern reliability without compromising the structural integrity or tone of the instrument. The guitar is finished in a Stage 1 aged vintage gloss, giving it the visual appeal of a carefully preserved vintage model while maintaining the structural benefits of a new instrument.
The neck is crafted from genuine mahogany with a D-28 Authentic 1937 Barrel & Heel profile and standard taper, providing a solid and familiar feel for experienced players. The ebony fingerboard features abalone inlays in the Diamond & Square Long style, combining durability with classic aesthetics. Additional premium features include a bone nut and saddle, antique white side dots and binding, aged Waverly nickel open-back tuners, and a 1930-style ebony belly bridge with long saddle.
The Custom Shop D-28 1937 Madagascar Rosewood is built to the classic D-14 fret body size with a 25.4" scale length, delivering a strong, punchy tone with excellent projection. The fingerboard width measures 1 3/4" at the nut and 2 1/4" at the 12th fret, offering a comfortable and familiar spacing ideal for both intricate fingerpicking and aggressive strumming. The bridge string spacing of 2 5/16" provides ample room for the picking hand, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles. Combined with the 16" saddle radius, players will find the instrument plays smoothly and evenly across the entire fingerboard.
Each guitar includes a high-quality hardshell case for protection and portability. With its limited availability, vintage-correct specifications, and uncompromising attention to detail, the Custom Shop D-28 1937 Madagascar Rosewood is an outstanding choice for players and collectors looking for a premium, historically accurate acoustic guitar.
