Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS Aged Acoustic Guitar

Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS Aged Acoustic Guitar

If you're looking for a new guitar that looks and sounds like an 80+ year old vintage guitar, then the Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS Aged Acoustic Guitar is exactly what you have been looking for. 1937 was an excellent year for guitars, with a perfect storm of craftsmanship, innovation, and materials.

The Aged version of the D-28 Authentic 1937 includes all that is good that comes with Martin's Authentic Series instruments, like hide glue construction and hand-scalloped X-bracing. Plus, it adds the VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM (VTS) that ages the wood to replicate the sound of a vintage Martin. Now Martin has reintroduced a more accurate body profile based on dreadnought shapes from the early Golden Era of Martin's history. The result is a tactile, visual, and auditory experience that will transport you all the way back to the 1930s.

Comes with a Hardshell Case.
