Seller's description

A sleeper with teeth. This 1979 Custom HD-28 is one of the most compelling post-war dreadnoughts Martin ever made — and remains one of the most undervalued. These were the first Martins since 1944 to feature true scalloped bracing, offering a livelier, more open response than anything else from the era. You get the full herringbone spec, aged spruce top with subtle bear claw figuring, Indian rosewood back and sides, and a soft V neck profile that feels old-world without being chunky. This one’s a Custom order, with snowflake inlays instead of the standard dots — a rare aesthetic touch. Outfitted with a Barcus Berry pickup system, it’s also stage-ready. Playing well as-is, though a neck reset (or possibly refret) would bring it back to its full potential.  Includes original molded Martin hardcase, factory paperwork, warranty card, and serial documentation. Serial 415196. Made in USA. Don't sleep on these.
