Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS Acoustic Guitar - Aged Vintage Gloss
The Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS is a painstaking recreation of one of Martin’s most iconic pre-war dreadnoughts. Crafted with hide glue construction and period-correct materials, this guitar features an Adirondack spruce top treated with Martin’s Vintage Tone System (VTS) for a well-aged, broken-in sound right out of the case. The Guatemalan rosewood back and sides contribute rich, balanced lows and articulate highs, making this a powerhouse for both flatpicking and fingerstyle.
With a 1937-style forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing, the top vibrates with exceptional responsiveness and projection. The genuine mahogany neck has a period-accurate Authentic 1937 neck profile with an ebony fingerboard, offering a substantial yet comfortable grip for vintage purists. The Aged Vintage Gloss finish completes the time-worn aesthetic, giving this guitar the look and feel of a well-cared-for heirloom.
Perfect for serious players and collectors alike, the D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS delivers a historically faithful playing experience with tone and craftsmanship that honor Martin’s golden era of guitar making.
