USED Martin / D-28 Modified 2005 [03]

D-28 with Lester Flatt model-style pickguard!

This item is modeled after the D-28 with a large pickguard owned by bluegrasser Lester Flatt, a style more familiar to Mistill fans in Japan than Lester's, as Kazutoshi Sakurai of Mr. Children used Lester's signature model and a D-28 with a similar design. This style is more familiar to Mistill fans in Japan than Lester's. The pickguard is non-original and was probably replaced later, but the finish is relatively meticulous.
The original is a 2005 model featuring a non-forward-shifting top brace, 42.9mm nut width, rotomatic pegs, and gold leaf logo. The fingerboard and bridge are made of striped ebony.
There are some dents, scratches, picking marks, partial paint fogging, and satin paint glare on the back of the binding neck at the end, but generally speaking, it is in the range of use and age commensurate with its age.
The neck has been ironed and some of the binding has been repaired by our repair department. The neck is in good condition, and the truss rod has been confirmed to operate at 60 degrees left and right. The frets have been rubbed together with no dents, and more than 80% of the height remains. Both playability and sound are perfect.
It has the horsepower of a D-28, but the bass is not so boomy, and the sound is well-balanced. This guitar is recommended not only for Lester and Sakurai fans, but also for those who are looking for a guitar with a different look.
