1972 Martin D-28 S – £3199

NEW ARRIVAL The Martin D28S was produced between 1954 – 1993 and is still one of the most unusual and eye catching dreadnoughts from the Martin catalogue. A slope shouldered dreadnought with a slotted headstock and 12 frets to the body make it a very different beast to the traditional D28. The 12 fret join on a large body produces a far greater bass response, and a more dynamic guitar altogether. It features a Spruce top with Rosewood back and sides, Ebony fretboard and bridge, and super cool Grover tuners. The neck has a comfortable soft V profile, and the action is very good. The guitar is in good condition for it’s age, with plenty of age related scuffs, and repaired top cracks. It comes in a non original hard case.

2006 Martin J40 – £2999

NEW ARRIVAL Introduced in 1985, the J40 was Martin’s first jumbo model. Interesting that they waited so long, and also that they made it a high end 40 series, not an 18 or 28 series. Maybe they weren’t sure of the jumbo market? Either way it’s a belter of a guitar....
