2015 Martin HD-28E Retro Acoustic/Electric Dreadnought Guitar
Overview: This modern HD-28 is the "E" version for the onboard preamp and pickup package already installed. It has the herringbone purfling, it's lightweight, and it sounds like a big old cannon with that familiar warm, stone-dropped-in-water, D-28 sound. Despite being vintage in specs, the neck is comfy and quick and it handles beautifully. This is a one-owner guitar and it's been gigged a bunch but kept pretty tidy over the last decade.
Repairs included: I reset the neck and it also got a level/dress of the frets and setup, too. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: It's overall very clean but it does show a little playwear and usewear here and there in the form of light scratches. The worst of it is a scratch on the "knee side" of the body at the waist that you can see in the photos, an inch and a half scrape/ding on the lower bout of the top, and a little pickwear on the pickguard. It's all-original as far as I can tell.
It comes with: It has a presumably-original hard case.
