1957 Martin D-28 For Sale

A classic American guitar hand-crafted in Nazareth, PA just over 50 years ago. This guitar is the quintessential bluegrass guitar which in the right hands will be both powerful and rich. This particular guitar has a full tone and nice balance top to bottom. The back and sides are fine examples of Brazillian rosewood with a spruce top. This guitar has been played and is in good condition considering it's age. There is one small crack adjacent to the pickguard. Only $12,500

I realize that it has been ten months since you listed your 1957 Martin Brazilian Rosewood guitar for $12,000...I hope for your sake that you did not sale it...believe me you will regret it. I sold my 1953 Martin D-28 Brazilian Rosewood guitar and my heart has never been the same since.

I hope for what ever reason you were selling this for has changed for the better. Kind Regards

So, y'all, this WAS my guitar that I've had since I was 16 (1965ish). I bought it from a man who sold it to me (mom, grandma paid for it) after he made me play it to see if I was worthy of such an instrument. After a 2-person 'jam sesson' that lasted about 2 hours, he handed it to me and told my mom that he would take half of what he was asking, that the guitar had been waiting for me. Many memories, coffee houses, concerts for guys at Travis Air Force base coming back from Viet Nam.

@elviscash56 - The reason that old guitars often sound better isn't about a "magical time period when craftsmanship actually meant something". The sap/resin in the wood used to make the guitar crystallizes and hardens over time, changing the sound qualities of the guitar for the better.

The only other thing is that early martins were made from brazilian rosewood which is now limited to the top of the line and custom guitars due to CITES protection.

@pickinstone Martins made with real wood, especially rosewood, always sound better with age, but I've never heard a bad sounding new Martin either.
