Used 2021 Martin Custom Shop Wildwood Spec D-28 12-Fret
A D-28 Unlike Any Other
Wildwoodians, when was the last time you saw a D-28 with a Carpathian spruce top, highly-flamed koa back and sides, a slotted headstock, and a 12-fret neck? It's not a combo you see every day, each of these opulent custom appointments help give this rare bird a fresh, exciting voice that pushes the Martin dreadnought into new territory! The 12-fret neck lends it a powerful natural sense of warm, piano-like reverberance, improves responsiveness, and gives the neck a delightfully slinky feel because it reduces string tension.
That responsiveness is furthered by the Carpathian spruce top. Carpathian spruce is renowned for its sunny tone, superb string separation, and delectable bouquet of overtones. Finally, the koa back and sides give it wonderfully treble sparkle and woody midrange presence. As an added bonus, koa "fills out" more and mroe as you play it more often, so this guitar will only sound richer with time. The end result is a guitar with a beautifully robust yet articulate, balanced balanced with excellent dynamic response.
If you're looking for a D-28 that will stand out from the crowd and make all the other Martin aficionados on your block green with jealous rage, check this Custom Shop D-28 out!
Condition Report
This 12-Fret D-28 is in fantastic shape! It has no cosmetic flaws to report other than some very light pick marks by the soundhole and pickguard. A previous owner was also kind enough to install an aftermarket Fishman Infinity pickup, so this koa killer is stage-ready! To top it off, it comes with its original hardshell case, too.
