If you're looking for a new, spellbinding acoustic guitar that looks and sounds like you've been playing it for 80 years — you have just found your holy grail! 1937 was considered an excellent year for guitar production, with a perfect storm of craftsmanship, innovation, and materials. The Aged version of the D-28 Authentic 1937 includes all of the goodness that comes with Martin’s Authentic Series instruments, like hide glue construction and hand-scalloped X-bracing. Plus, it adds the 'Vintage Tone System' (VTS) that ages the wood to replicate the sound of a vintage Martin.
Martin's craftspeople can recreate the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar and reproduce the particular tones previously reserved for retro instruments. Now Martin has reintroduced a more accurate body profile based on dreadnought shapes from the early "Golden Era" of Martin's history. The result is a tactile, visual, and auditory experience that will transport you all the way back to the 1930s.
Key Features
- Adirondack Spruce Top — This stiffer top wood delivers a strong fundamental with vibrant sustain. With more dynamics than Sitka Spruce, Adirondack Spruce offers enhanced volume and can be driven hard without loss of clarity.
- VTS (Vintage Tone System) — A proprietary process that allows Martin to artificially age new guitar tops to adopt the characteristics of wood from a specific time period.
- Guatemalan Rosewood Back & Sides — A stunning timber with a deep, rich grain. Gives the guitar an authoritative yet warm voice.
- Ebony Fingerboard — A dark, luxurious and silky-smooth material that adds brightness and snap into the tonal equation.
- 25.4" Scale Length — Gives the strings reassuringly strong tension; perfect for digging into big chords!
- Included Hardshell Case — Provides heavy-duty security when travelling.
