Absolutely incredible guitar. One of the most beautiful sounding newer Martins we've everhad in the ShopFishman Matrix pickup professionally installedOriginal hardshell case "Martin is proud to bring you the Rich Robinson Custom Signature Edition D-28. This model is a guitar player’s dream, and it is the first model that Martin has ever made as a visual and sonic representation of an artist’s personal instrument.The instrument that served as its inspiration is a 1954 D-28 that was handed down from Robinson’s father, who played it on stage at the Grand Ole Opry; as a traveling musician with the Hillbilly Highway; and in his folk band, The Appalachians, during the 1950s and ‘60s. After inheriting his father’s guitar, Robinson used it to write most of the original Black Crowes’ songs from the band’s studio albums.This soulful representation of that beloved guitar is crafted with Aged satin-finished East Indian rosewood for the back and sides and an Aged spruce top that is finished with a very thin vintage gloss. It also features rearward-shifted non-scalloped bracing, which offers a very balanced tone and added volume. It includes some 1950s style vintage build characteristics, like Martin’s signature dovetail neck joint, authentic hide glue construction, an ebony fingerboard and bridge, and Aged nickel tuners. Another custom feature requested by Robinson is a bridge with the wings slightly softened for comfort.The model includes a specially designed label signed by Robinson and numbered in sequence.  It is beyond special, and highly collectible.  The guitar has been setup by the techs in our shop to play perfectly.  Come to Truetone Music to experience it yourself, or order right here for it to be professionally packed and safely shipped to your home."OVERVIEWBody Size: D-14 Fret Finish Top: Vintage Gloss - Aged Construction: Dovetail Neck Joint - Hide Glue Construction Back and Side Finish: Vintage Gloss - Aged Bracing Pattern: Rearward Shifted X Brace Scale Length: 25.4" Brace Shape: Non-Scalloped Fingerboard Width at Nut: 1 11/16'' Top Material: Spruce Neck Shape: 1954 Rich Robinson Barrel and Heel Back Material: East Indian Rosewood Neck Taper: Standard Taper Side Material: East Indian Rosewood Electronics: None TOPTop Color: Antique Toner Bridge Style: Modern Belly - Drop in Long Saddle Binding: Antique White Bridge String Spacing: 2 1/8" Top Inlay Material: Multi-Stripe Bridge Material: Ebony Top Detail: Aged Bridge Pin Material: Bone Pickguard: Tortoise Pattern Bridge Pin Dots: None Pickguard Inlay: None Saddle: Bone Rosette: Multi-Stripe Saddle Radius: 16" BODY: Brace Material: Spruce Back and Sides Color: None Brace Size: 5/16" Back Detail: Aged Back Purfling/Strip: Style 28 Back Inlay Material: Multi-Stripe Heelcap: Antique White Side Detail: Aged Endpiece: Antique White Side Inlay Material: None Endpiece Inlay: Multi-Stripe NECKNeck Material: Genuine Mahogany Fingerboard Material: Ebony Finish Neck: Vintage Gloss - Aged Fingerboard Width at 12th Fret: 2 1/8'' Neck Color: Dark Mahogany Fingerboard Inlay Style: Dots Fingerboard Inlay Material: Mother of Pearl Neck Joins Body At: 14th Fret Fingerboard Binding Material: None Side Dots: Yellow HEADSTOCKHeadstock Shape: Solid with Square Taper and Diamond Tuning Machines: Aged Nickel Enclosed Gear Headplate Material: East Indian Rosewood Knob: Oval Headplate Logo Style: Script Golden Era Overlay Headplate Binding Material: None MISCCase: Molded Hardshell Label: Paper Label Signed by Rich Robinson, Numbered in Sequence Pleked: true
