Item: 1950 Martin D-28. Brazilian Rosewood.
Serial #: 114003
Year made: 1950
Case. New deluxe TKL hard shell case with arched top. $150 retail.
Condition: I purchased this guitar from the daughter of the original owner approximately 15 years ago. I played it in the condition I received it in. The action was a tad high & felt a little stiff. I didn’t mind the way it played & I always dug the tone. There were two input jacks on the side of the body.
I just had the following work done on the guitar:
(1) Jacks removed and the holes patched with Brazilian Rosewood and the finish touched up in this area.
(2) Bridge sanded to lower the action and nut slots adjusted. The action is great. The tone is excellent. There is still plenty of saddle height. The string height @ the 12th fret is approximately 3/16”.
(3) Pick guard crack under high E string closed & repaired with rosewood cleat.
(4) Frets dressed. Fingerboard chips filled.
(5) 4” piece of binding re attached on treble side where the guitar would sit on your knee.
The following work was done before I acquired the guitar:
(1) Top refinished & new pick guard installed.
(2) Back & sides over sprayed.
(3) Some top braces re glued. Some Kerfing near neck block re glued. Neck is flat not bellying up.
(4) Bridge plate had some re gluing.
(5) Tuning machines changed to Grover’s
(6) Re fretted.
(7) Previous neck set.
(8) Trapeze on at one time. Holes were re glued.
(9) Strap button installed on treble side of neck. Non original strap button on end of guitar
(10) 4 ½” repaired crack on back.
I had all the repairs done by Al Scholl who is an experienced repairman here in Denver. Al charges $500 for the work he did on this Martin.
Comments: NO RESERVE. The 2008 Vintage Guitar Price Guide lists this amp from $9500 to $12,000. Looks cool. Sounds fantastic. Vintage Brazilian Martins are undervalued and will continue to increase in value. EXCELLENT INVESTMENT! BEAUTIFUL RICH TONE. VERY LOUD.
