2020 Martin Custom Shop HD-28 Shadetop Dreadnought Guitar



Overview: It's got herringbone! It's got sunburst! It's got rosewood! It's also got a fancy, Fishman pickup system built-in. This is a tip-top-sounding guitar -- clean and powerful but with that classic, "stone tossed in water," deep, rosewood complexity thrown in there. It's got a quick feel despite its more vintage-style neck profile and nut width, too.


This one is very clean and appears to have only been used now and then. The dark shadetop finish is a cool look and the trim really pops at the edges because of the high contrast.


Repairs included: I just gave it a quick setup but it was almost 100% when it came in. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.
