Description

Don't Judge a Book by its Cover!!!!
CF Martin CEO 7 that has had a difficult early life, but is an AWESOME player!!!  I got this guitar brand new...but there were issues!!!  Someone had kicked in the treble side of the guitar, damage which caused cracks in the treble side of the top of the guitar.  A little chunk of the treble edge of the sound hole edge was missing.  I received this guitar several years ago...
Fast Forward to today!!!
The cracks in the top have been repaired with cleats.  The hole in the treble side has been pieced back together and cleated for stability.  Nothing simple to be done with sound hole edge(I placed a Korg RIMPITCH here to hide the scar).  There are also two dents at the rear corner of the headstock.  The matte factory finish over the beautiful dark burst top has been removed with Maguires and you have an attractive glossy burst finish.  I have also added a strap button at base of the neck.  Hard to find model!!!!!  This is the first Martin that I have owned, I just picked up a 000 42 and a 0M 42 along with a Guild F 55 so something has to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This guitar may be a bit of an ugly duckling BUT it plays devinely!  Minimal fret wear.  Great neck!  Original hard shell case!  FREE SHIPPING with Buy It Now option(please wait for a revised invoice before paying)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Bid with confidence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Martin HD28 is an upgraded version of the world-famous D28 acoustic guitar, with distinctive features for players seeking a unique instrument. First and foremost, you'll hear how the scalloped carve-out pattern on the internal bracing gives the HD28 a sound of its own. Beyond that, you'll appreciate a few subtle aesthetic details that give the HD28 a refined visual appeal.
Starting with Unbeatable Tonewoods
The Martin HD-28 is made with a North American Sitka spruce top. This tonewood imbues the instrument with the complex and rich tonal "snap" that have always made Martins some of the greatest acoustic guitars of all time. The top is matched with East Indian rosewood sides and back. These gorgeous woods are accented with a handsome and distinguished herringbone inlay around the HD-28's entire top, set against a white boltaron binding.
Classic Dreadnought Shape
The select hardwood neck on the HD-28 is carved to a 25.4-inch scale length with a 16-inch radius, and is set with 20 stainless steel frets. There is no cutaway, and fret access is clear up through the 14th fret. The fingerboard is made from solid black ebony and set with shiny "style 28" position inlays on six frets.
Scalloped Bracing Design on the Inside
The HD-28's top is reinforced with Standard "X" style scalloped bracing. Scalloping means that the top is able to vibrate more than a top with a traditional X-brace, giving you more overall volume and bass response. Some would describe the sound of a scalloped bracing as offering an overall wider tonal range, rather than a traditional bracing that offers a tighter, narrower tone.
Subtle Aesthetic Touches on the Outside
Along with the herringbone binding, a black-on-white rosette and a zig-zag back inlay strip complete the distinctive aesthetic profile of this Martin dreadnought. The tortoise pickguard perfectly matches the rosewood sides and gloss-finish spruce top. A set of chrome-enclosed tuning machines with large buttons keeps perfect intonation and string lie.
