A Dynamite Dreadnought
Wildwoodians, this Martin HD-28BSE is an absolute sonic titan, and it's quite a rare bird to boot!

It sounds like a dream, with big piano-like lows, gorgeous overtone presence, and wonderful sparkle. It's an iconic-sounding instrument, and it will no doubt inspire you to embark on all kinds of acoustic adventures.
Condition Report
This highly-limited Martin is in amazing shape, but it has undergone a few repairs at the hands of the skilled artisans at Martin. It suffered a broken neck at some point, and a previous owner sent it to Martin, where they hard polished the body and made a brand-new neck. The new neck is rock-solid and is a delight to play. Martin also re-glued the bridge and did some touch-up work around it. The only other cosmetic imperfections to note are some lvery light marks on the top and some fainter ones on the back and sides. It comes with its original hardshell case, all its original paperwork, hangtags, paperwork from Martin regarding the repairs, and the even the original broken neck (if you want it). This guitar impressed the heck out of us, and we have no doubt it will steal your heart, too!
