{"product_id":"1969-martin-d-28","title":"1969 Martin D-28","description":"\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA superb 1969 Martin D-28 offering all the classic dreadnought power and depth that has made the model such a benchmark acoustic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe D-28 is one of Martin’s most iconic designs, pairing a spruce top with rosewood back and sides for a big, clear and harmonically rich voice. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt has the familiar late-’60s Martin spec with Grover tuners and a black pickguard, Ebony bridge and fingerboard with a Rosewood bridge plate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe guitar had a neck reset and refret back in 2015 by\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Dave King, and the geomertry of the instrument remains excellent with a saddle height of 3.5mm and an action at the 12th fret of 2.5mm on the bass side and 3mm on the treble.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe main condition point to note is a rim crack to the lower bout. Otherwise, it has the honest look and feel of a well-kept vintage dreadnought, with plenty of character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe neck is comfortable and familiar, measuring 42.6mm at the nut, with a depth of 22.3mm at the 1st fret and 24.6mm at the 9th. It has a really comfortable soft V profile that sits very naturally in the hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTonally, this is exactly the sort of thing you hope for from a good D-28: a clear top end, rich rosewood depth and plenty of projection. It has the authority for flatpicking and strumming, and it also responds well to a lighter touch and fingerstyle playing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOverall a very good example that's had all of the important maintenance work done, ready for the new owner to enjoy for decades to come!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54316823183699,"sku":"242493","price":7650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/7258\/4275\/files\/1969MartinD-28-6.jpg?v=1784130364","url":"https:\/\/www.atbguitars.com\/products\/1969-martin-d-28","provider":"ATB Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
