Martin D-28 America’s Guitar 175th Anniversary Limited Edition 'Adirondack / Madagascar Rosewood' Preowned 2008

Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne

Includes Hardshell Case

The Martin America’s Guitar 175th Anniversary celebrates nearly two centuries of exceptional craftsmanship and innovation from one of the world’s most iconic acoustic guitar makers. Limited to only 175 guitars worldwide, this Golden Era-style dreadnought was built to embody the finest traditions of Martin’s heritage, pairing Madagascar rosewood back and sides with an Adirondack spruce top for powerful projection, shimmering overtones, and unmatched tonal depth. The body is beautifully adorned with Hawaiian koa bindings, fine herringbone purfling, and an HD Zig-Zag back strip, giving it an elegant vintage aesthetic worthy of its commemorative purpose.

This limited-edition model features a modified V-neck carved from select hardwood, a long diamond headstock with a mother-of-pearl “America’s Guitar” inlay, and a solid black ebony fingerboard with Golden Era abalone-bordered diamond inlays. Every detail reflects Martin’s legacy of precision and artistry, from the Waverly nickel tuners to the 1930s-style belly bridge and bone appointments. Complete with a signed and numbered label from C.F. Martin IV and a Geib-style anniversary case, this is a true collector’s piece - both a stunning instrument and a proud tribute to 175 years of American guitar history.

This stunning 2008-built guitar is in fantastic condition, with only light playwear and polishing swirls, and a great medium action. It's a beautifully-appointed guitar with top-shelf timbers throughout - a rare and flawless piece of Martin history! Includes original hardshell case.
