Martin Custom Shop Expert D28 1937 Stage 1 Aging Ambertone 2023

The Martin Custom Shop D28 1937 is a remarkable blend of golden era tone and modern day reliability. Inspired by one of the most sought after pre war designs, this model delivers the sonic depth and character of the Authentic Series while offering the stability and practicality that today’s players demand.

Built using traditional construction methods such as Authentic bracing, hide glue and cloth strip construction, this D28 offers a powerful and dynamic response with exceptional resonance. The addition of an adjustable truss rod ensures long term stability and easy setup adjustments, making it equally at home on stage and in the studio. The combination of an Adirondack spruce top with Indian rosewood back and sides produces a deep low end, clear mids and shimmering highs with impressive headroom and projection.

Finished in a beautifully aged Ambertone using Martin’s Vintage Low Gloss process, this guitar captures the look and feel of a well preserved vintage instrument. This 2023 example remains in excellent condition, showing only light signs of use beyond the stage 1 aging, including a small ding on the lower bout of the top and a small chip on the top of the headstock. A truly inspiring dreadnought for players seeking classic tone with modern reliability.
