Martin Guitars D-28 1943 Acoustic Guitar Adirondack / Brazilian Rosewood.
In absolutely magnificent 'museum' like condition and inspiring to play. The instrument was resprayed some 22+ years ago, however, everything else is all original including the case!

The guitar has recently had a neck reset and full inspection from UK's leading Martin expert David King of Dave King Acoustics LLP.
Here is what Dave King has to say about the instrument:
.............................................
"...There are a couple of things that give the guitar away as having been resprayed. For example, when I removed the neck a small build-up of lacquer was visible around the neck join.
Saying that it was done many years ago and very well !!! It’s a great guitar..."

As we know the Martin D-28 is an absolute benchmark dreadnought and early D-28s rank as some of the most collectible acoustic guitars ever. When Martin introduced the D-28 in 1931, it laid the groundwork for where the acoustic guitar industry would go. Very few D-28s were made in the first several years of production, up until a switch was made from a 12-fret to a 14-fret neck in 1934. By 1943, other changes include a decrease in nut width and the use of scalloped bracing.
Comes with original case (new handle).
