This 1944 Martin 000-28 in Natural wears its history proudly, with a uniquely aged refinish that shows intricate, uneven checking and a deep patina that gives it undeniable character. Though it’s seen extensive restoration—including a neck reset, refret, and several structural and cosmetic repairs—it remains a remarkably lively and inspiring instrument. The tone has that unmistakable vintage depth: warm, open, and woody, with a clarity that speaks of decades of resonance. The neck feels comfortable and broken-in, making it an easy player despite its age. A true survivor from the wartime era, this 000-28 stands in a great state to keep making music for years to come—proof that a guitar can live a long, eventful life and still sound extraordinary. Comes with a HSC.
