Guitar of the Day: 1957 Martin D-28 | Norman's Rare Guitars

[@JimWalkerMusic]

Wow that could very well be my dads guitar. He bought a D28 when he was stationed in Japan. (USAF) Of course he brought it home. It had the stamp. I may not even exist if he wouldn't have had his ol' Martin. He was playing it at a park in Gardenia and a crowd began to gather. My mom was in the crowd and caught Pop's eye. So thanks Martin & Co. I owe you my life. Lol. Sadly, Dad sold in 77 for like $200. :-(

Those guitars are so significant to all of our music of today.great work Mark.great job on gotd!!!

[@Zelomeisterdude]

As soon as Mark started picking, in my head I heard half the albums I listened to growing up in the 60s & 70s.

Lovely stuff as usual. I have a D28, in fact everyone should own one as I believe it's rude not to.

[@chadhutsell8847]

Yeah. That's the good stuff. Sounds perfect even through my cell phone. Nice!!

[@JtotheP68]

Sounds just lovely, thanks for showing it to us!

[@franciscoescobedo1271]

Que hermoso sonido tiene esta guitarra , nos transporta a la época en que fue construida y , la verdad sea dicha , esos materiales que la constituyen ya no los encuentras en la actualidad .

[@lordimpaler3899]

No matter where my musical tastes take me, I will always have a big section of my heart set aside for Led Zeppelin 💖

[@tbeau6663]

Outstanding

[@williamkaylor1191]

The acoustic tone of the ages...Absolutely Prototypical....when you want a Real Acoustic sound, ain't nothing like the "working class" Martins and Gibsons...don't need no abalone to have good tone! Hi Mark!

[@itsfriday3555]

sweet guitar' what a beauty'

[@justinbradfield6499]

Thanks Mark!!!!! What beautiful Page illustrations that show why he chose this guitar to write these songs!!!!! I learn soo much from ya man thanks!!!!!!

[@TJHFavorites]

I have a 1957 D-28, in museum quality. Martin factory looked it over a few years ago. Was originally owned and played in concerts by Ola Belle Reed on the folks / bluegrass circuit in Eastern PA + Maryland + Sunset park and all the spots.

[@samharradence5689]

Hey guys just a suggestion when you announce the sold guitars from previous episodes can you say where they went to. Would show your reach. 57 LP triple pickup Custom, yeah thats on its way to Duluth MN. Just a thought.

[@TheRockyhockey007]

see I luv it when you get into the details of the guitar like that , your knowledge and passion really come through and it's fascinating to learn all this lore and detail , you really know your stuff. A Martin is at the top of my list as far as my next guitar goes , I certainly couldn't afford this classic but ti's nice to see and hear , great work on this set Mark , luv it when you get the Led out , thanks.

[@RockHardRiffs]

Get the Led out! Sounds incredible!

[@ksmithreps1]

[@vmat1000]

I've dug the last few offerings but this just sounds 'right' . One of those No S/S things. Its a well played D28.

You cant fake this. A Martin is a pros best freind and a noobs worst nightmare. You cant hide from a martin. It will find your weakness and put it on blast.

[@BookClubDisaster]

When I play new guitars I often like mahogany better than rosewood. When I listen to vintage guitars I like rosewood better. Maybe rosewood takes a really long time to sound its best? New it just sounds a bit too dark to me.

Quoc Huy Le Did Macca write it on his D28 or his Epi Texan? I can't remember for sure. D28's definitely went to India and most, if not all, White Album acoustic songs were written on D28
