The Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS Aged is a faithful recreation of one of the most legendary acoustic guitars ever made, capturing the tone, feel, and craftsmanship of the original pre-war D-28 models. Built with Martin’s Authentic Series attention to detail, it delivers the powerful projection, rich resonance, and vintage character that made the D-28 a benchmark for acoustic guitar excellence.

Featuring a solid Adirondack spruce top treated with Martin’s Vintage Tone System (VTS) and solid Madagascar rosewood back and sides, this guitar produces a highly responsive tone with deep bass, clear trebles, and exceptional dynamic range. The aged finish and vintage-inspired construction give it the feel and sonic character of a well-played instrument from the golden era of acoustic guitar building.

Designed with traditional specifications, hide glue construction, forward-shifted scalloped bracing, and premium vintage appointments, the D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS Aged offers incredible sustain, volume, and tonal complexity. It is an instrument built for professional musicians, collectors, and players seeking the unmistakable sound and craftsmanship of Martin’s most celebrated era.

Every guitar in our store is completely checked and set up by our guitar luthiers so that the guitar is easy to play yet without buzz. And if you have any special wishes regarding setup - tell us (or specify) when making an order and we will be happy to make a perfect guitar for you :)

Also, you have to keep in mind that wood is a living material. Guitar’s geometry changes a little over time, adjusting to temperature and humidity, so there is no setup that can last forever. To save you a headache, we have a free setup service for our instruments! If you feel that something is off you can bring it to us so that we can return everything to it’s perfect original state.

For online orders we manually pack each guitar into a ton of wraps and carton and also have full insurance for all our shippings. So that you wouldn’t worry that something might happen on the way.
