$3200.00

This D-28 Marquis has uncanny tone; I sold a D-28 1937 Authentic because it couldn\'t match this Marquis. In absolutely flawless condition other than a tiny superficial scratch on the headstock as shown in the photo. Just look at the grain of the red spruce and rosewood in the photos. Martin hasn\'t had wood of this quality in a little while now, regardless of the prices they\'re charging for new guitars.
Action is setup nice with plenty of saddle left (ivory saddle and nut on this one).
Only selling because I need the money for Christmas expenses.
Free shipping to the CONTINENTAL U.S. only.
