There are pick wear nicks, scratch patterning and crazing on the light brown Sitka spruce top. Beautiful, rich Brazilian wood on sides and back. Overspray on the headstock. Most importantly, this D-28 has an exceptionally good sound and matching playability. This 1955 Martin D-28 guitar was obviously owned by someone who played it and took care of it.
