Up for auction.... 1992 Martin D28 Plus, a phone call to Martin revealed that this tobacco finish (lighter than the marquis series) was offered on this model, this one year only. This is not a guitar with a flawless finish. Please see the pic with the dime, it is the only "bad" part of the finish. This guitar is incredible sounding for finger picking. It has a scratch and a nick hear and there... nothing major. It was used in my studio for a couple of worship songs and records with amazing clarity that would be expected of a much higher model Martin. The action is better than anything else I've ever played and best of all, you don't have to treat it like a piece of fine china. It's meant to be played and enjoyed. This guitar sounds amplified when sitting in a small to medium sized room. Multiple players have commented on this guitar's "naturally eq'd" sound. Comes with extra pins. This was given as a gift to me, and although I play it, I'm a better drummer than picker PLUS I'm selling due to financial difficulties. Give it a good home, and don't leave it in the case! Don't wait until the end to bid... NO RESERVE! Bid your best bid FIRST, as this is also for sale locally.

By Wednesday at lunch I will post all the information I find out. Thanks for the interest and the patience.
