Reverb sales are always taxed.No sales tax for customers outside California.This absolutely fabulous 1967 Martin D-28 arrived recently and is the star of the show.The woods are exquisite.  The top very much resembles red spruce, with its wide grain and coloration.  It is said that the use of red spruce had ended at Martin prior to the production of this guitar, and I don't see a need to end up the subject of a forum discussion, so that is all I'll say on the matter.  The back and sides speak for themselves. The guitar is repair free - the only knock is the added strap button at the neck heel.  It does need a neck reset.  With the holidays approaching and our go-to luthier tied up until after the January guitar shows, I decided to list it rather than queue it up for the work.  It will likely sell at the shows, if not sooner!The original frets are in great shape, so they won't need to be replaced when the neck is reset.  A fret dress would be the smart thing to do when the neck work is being done.  The saddle is low, compensated by a previous owner to counter the higher action.  The bridge is untouched.As a '67, the bridge plate is the preferred small-maple variety.The original case is included.Color: NaturalWeight: 4lbs 13.1ozsTop: SpruceBody: Brazilian RosewoodNeck: MahoganyNeck Profile: See pictureFretboard: EbonyInlays: Mother-of-pearl dotsFrets: OriginalFret count: 20Nut: OriginalNut width: 1 11/16"Scale: 25.4"Radius: 16"Neck thickness at 1st Fret: 0.90"Neck thickness at 10th Fret: 1.10"Action 1st String at 12th Fret: 3/32"Action 6th String at 12th Fret: 4/32"Total length: 40 3/8"Body length: 20"Lower bout: 15 3/4"Waist: 10 7/8"Upper bout: 11 9/16"Body depth/thickness: 4 7/8"String gauge: .011-.052"Electronics?: NoPickguard: OriginalBridge: OriginalTuners: OriginalCase: OHSCNotes: Shipping policy:There are two shipping cost options for purchases made on our site for these states and those to the east of them: Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas.  Select Standard shipping at checkout and your item will be shipped via UPS three-day-air.  Select Economy shipping and your item will ship via UPS ground.  For Reverb purchases, there is one cost option for these Eastern states and shipment will be made by UPS three-day-air.  Shipments will require signature on delivery, no exceptions.  If there is damage, the buyer must retain all packing materials intact and picture them immediately and send them to .  Less than 1% of our shipments are damaged in transit, and we are committed to making sure your item arrives safely, but we are taking these additional measures to make sure you are happy with your purchase.

This model represents a pinnacle in Martin Guitar's esteemed lineup, embodying a legacy of over a century of instrument-making expertise. At its core, the D-28 boasts a classic dreadnought body shape, which contributes to its robust projection and resonant sound profile.

This combination creates a sonic landscape that is both powerful and balanced, making the D-28 equally adept at accommodating intricate fingerstyle passages and vigorous strumming patterns. Beyond its acoustic prowess, the D-28 is revered for its exceptional playability and enduring design. Its comfortable neck profile and smooth fretwork provide players with a seamless playing experience, whether in the studio, on stage, or during late-night jam sessions. The guitar's timeless aesthetic, characterized by elegant appointments and meticulous detailing, further underscores its status as a true icon in the world of acoustic instruments.
