1942 MartinD-28 – Natural/Herringbone
When was the last time you came across a Wartime Martin this squeaky clean?! This 1942 Martin D-28 is exactly why terms like “Wartime” and “Herringbone” carry so much weight in the vintage acoustic world. And while the word “cannon” gets thrown around a lot when describing great guitars, one E chord on this D-28 makes it clear that even “cannon” feels like an understatement. The tone is everything you hope for in a golden-era Martin, being incredibly open and responsive, with shimmering top-end sparkle, rich low-end warmth, and that unmistakable depth that only the best 1930s and 1940s Martins seem to possess. Like any well-loved vintage Martin, this guitar has received the proper maintenance over the years, including a neck reset, replacement bridge and pins, refret, and new nut. All of the work has been professionally done to keep this wartime beauty performing and sounding exactly as it should. So if you’ve been searching for the quintessential vintage D-28, this just might be the one for you!
