Traded my way into a 1971 Martin D28 https://i.imgur.com/LELNWvn.jpeg

Sweet! The "granddaddy" of Martin guitars!

(My browser - Arc - chokes on the image, so I can only view the headstock down to about the 5th fret. But I know what D-18s look like. :smile:)

Congrats!

Great!!!

Nice! I've heard them referred to as a "lap-cannon"
Lol

My 1996 HD28 vintage reissue is a lap cannon, for sure. The forward bracing sees to it. But it also sees to the clearer treble. The D-28s also have that sweetness. The Beatles White Album is proof enough. Lot of Martin D-28 on that since John and Paul carried them to India and came back full of tunes--partially, I'd suspect, inspired by those guitars.

Nice guitar!! Martins sound amazing!!

The D28 forms the basis for all of Martin's "super dreadnaughts" (D35, D41, D45). They're exceptional instruments, all. You've got a fine guitar there, Mark!

Thank you. Now I need to put some electronics in it so I can use it live. Probably put an Anthem system in it. Have in my OOO Martin and Guild 12.
