This D-28 Authentic 1937 Aged is Martin’s way of putting that exact feeling into your hands without the six-figure price tag. They have utilized a VTS torrefied Adirondack spruce top and hand-carved forward-shifted X-bracing to give it that wide-open, explosive projection. The back and sides are solid Guatemalan rosewood, which is widely considered the sonic successor to the old Brazilian sets, offering those deep, church-bell lows and incredibly rich harmonic overtones that define the Martin sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eWhat really sets this one apart is the fanatical attention to detail in the construction. We are talking about full hide glue construction and a dovetail neck joint, which is the old-school way of ensuring every ounce of string energy travels straight into the body. The Aged finish treatment is done by hand to give the guitar the look and tactile feel of a well-loved heirloom that has been played in for ninety years. Even the Waverly tuners and the bone nut and saddle have been aged to match, so when you pick it up, it doesn't feel like a new guitar at all—it feels like an old friend that already knows all your favorite songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eThe playability is pure vintage, featuring an Authentic 1937 neck barrel and a 1 3\/4 inch nut width that gives you plenty of room for clean flatpicking or complex chording. With a 25.4 inch scale length and an ebony fingerboard adorned with diamonds and squares inlays, the guitar has a physical presence that is just as impressive as its voice. Every piece of this build, from the bold herringbone trim to the zigzag backstrip, is a love letter to the golden era of acoustic luthiery. If you want the ultimate dreadnought that captures the soul of 1937, this is the one you have been waiting for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e-Top-\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop Material: Adirondack Spruce with VTS\u003cbr\u003eFinish Top: Vintage Gloss - Aged\u003cbr\u003eTop Color: Vintage Toner\u003cbr\u003eTop Inlay Material: Bold Herringbone\u003cbr\u003eTop Detail: Aged\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Antique White\u003cbr\u003eBridge Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eBridge Style: Authentic Belly - Glue in Long Saddle - Aged\u003cbr\u003eBridge String Spacing: 2 5\/16''\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pin Material: Ivory Pattern - Aged\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pin Dots: Black Plastic\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: Tortoise Pattern Aged\u003cbr\u003ePickguard Inlay: None\u003cbr\u003eRosette: Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003eSaddle: Bone\u003cbr\u003eSaddle Radius: 16\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e-Body-\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Size: Authentic D-14 Fret\u003cbr\u003eConstruction: Dovetail Neck Joint - Hide Glue Construction\u003cbr\u003eBack Material: Guatemalan Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eSide Material: Guatemalan Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eBack and Side Finish: Vintage Gloss - Aged\u003cbr\u003eBack and Sides Color: None\u003cbr\u003eBack Detail: Aged\u003cbr\u003eSide Detail: Aged\u003cbr\u003eBack Purfling\/Strip: Zig-Zag Authentic\u003cbr\u003eBack Inlay Material: Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003eSide Inlay Material: None\u003cbr\u003eBracing Pattern: Authentic 1937 Forward-Shifted X-Brace\u003cbr\u003eBrace Shape: Scalloped\u003cbr\u003eBrace Material: Adirondack Spruce with VTS\u003cbr\u003eBrace Size: 5\/16\"\u003cbr\u003eHeelcap: Antique White\u003cbr\u003eEndpiece: Antique White\u003cbr\u003eEndpiece Inlay: Multi-Stripe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e-Neck-\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: Authentic 1937\u003cbr\u003eNeck Taper: Standard Taper\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Genuine Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eNeck Color: Dark Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eFinish Neck: Vintage Gloss - Aged\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25.4\"\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets Total: 20\u003cbr\u003eNeck Joins Body At: 14th Fret\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Width at 12th Fret: 2 1\/4''\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Width at Nut: 1 3\/4''\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay Style: 1937 Diamonds and Squares Long Pattern\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay Material: Abalone\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Binding Material: None\u003cbr\u003eSide Dots: Grained Ivoroid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e-Headstock-\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeadstock Shape: Solid with 1937 Taper and Diamond\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Material: Guatemalan Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Logo Style: Authentic Style CFM Script Overlay\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Binding Material: None\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Detail: Aged\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines: Aged Waverly Nickel Open Back\u003cbr\u003eKnob: Butterbean\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e-Misc-\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCase: Hardshell\u003cbr\u003eLabel: None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhy Choose The Acoustic Shoppe?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eWhen you choose to purchase from us, you're not just making a transaction; you're investing in an exceptional experience.
