USED Martin / HD-28VR [06]

Early D-28 Vintage Reissue! Affordable player's condition!"

This HD-28VR was produced between 1996 and 1998. It features forward-shifted scalloped bracing, herringbone binding, slotted diamond and slotted square position marks, long saddle, modified V neck (nut width 42.9mm), open gear pegs, and tortoiseshell pickguard. In 2006, it was revived under the name HD-28V, but it is no longer in production.
This particular guitar was made in 1996. Waverly pegs, Tortis pickguard, L.R. Baggs Lyric (contact mic), and strap pins on the heel of the neck have been retrofitted.
There are some dents, scratches, and paint clouding, as well as some satin paint flakes on the back of the neck, what appears to be cured glue on the head surface, and dulling of the peg plating. There is a slight lift on the lower bass string side of the bridge, but this is not a problem. Fret scuffing has been done, binding peeling has been corrected, and the neck has been ironed out. There is a slight gap in the back binding at the neck heel. The neck is in good condition, and the truss rod has been checked to 60 degrees left and right. The frets are about 5 or 6 tenths high, but this does not affect the playability of the instrument.
The hard case is a Martin case, the type seen in the late 70s and 80s.
The price is reasonable because of its condition. This is recommended for those who are looking for a player's condition HD-28V type product. It has been played as well as it looks, but the bass is not boomy. The L.R. Baggs Lyric is installed, so it is ready for live performance in the solo or storytelling style.
