Martin D-28 Marquis 2008 Martin's most famous model, the dreadnought "D-28 Marquis," made in 2008, is now in stock from the top series "Marquis," which has been at the top of the acoustic guitar brand since its founding in 1833, and has reproduced the pre-war specifications known as the "Golden Era" using high-quality wood and traditional construction methods! In addition to the word "Marquis" on the label, there is also the anniversary year "175YEARS" on the side, giving it a special feel like an anniversary model. The basic structure is almost the same as when it was released, with the original open gear pegs and selected hardwood, the neck with an ebony fingerboard, the top/bracing material that has a big impact on the sound, Adirondack spruce, and the bridge made of ebony, which is distinctive for its powerful bass and well-balanced chord resonance. In addition, the sides and back are made entirely of veneer from carefully selected high-quality Indian rosewood, combined with forward shifted scalloped bracing to produce a thick, tight bass and powerful sound. The D-28 sound is created using the highest quality wood, cutting-edge technology, and skilled craftsmen. The ``GE'', which is said to be the highest class of D-28s, has received the Golden Era crown, and this Marquis similarly reproduces the golden age, and is the second highest ranked model.It has a brilliant acoustic sound that allows you to fully feel Martin's ability, and has a wonderful finish, and the string height is standard to slightly low, making it easy to play. It does not have a pickup, so it can be used as a pure acoustic guitar at home or for recording.The soft V-shaped neck makes it easy to grip, and the playability is excellent, making it one of the perfect acoustic guitars. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Accessories] Hard case (there is some peeling on the skin, but this does not affect transportation) [Appearance/Condition] There are signs of use such as small scratches and dullness of parts, and there is evidence that the nut has been raised.
