I just got mine for stupid cheap at a close out sale at a music shop. Deal of a lifetime. I can’t wait to get it, take it out and strum a G chord on it.

Great video. I live in Arizona, with its extreme climate. Even with a dedicated room for my instruments, with a full time humidifier and AC running 24/7, my collection of guitars all react and necks bow or back bow to a degree you get high action or buzz. I have to adjust the truss rods. In November the room has perfect conditions but not in July. So… With that said, I couldn’t buy this guitar, even as wonderful as it sounds. But- great video!

Ive had one since 2019 Martin Authentic Aged 1937. I gig with it and its a hoss!

When I was in 3rd grade I wore pants with holes and patches about the knees handed down from my older brother. They were distressed honestly by playing marbles, running through the bramble and scooting under barbed wire fences. Then the fashion world adopted a distressed style to give it a casual and loved look. But they put the holes above and below the knee and those of us that wore real authentic knew the difference. Now Martin is doing the same thing for guitars and trying to make the guitar looks loved. It would be easy to look down on this guitar except it sounds so good.

When I bought my D28 it took quite awhile to get it. The HD28 was in high demand so it took a long time to get mine on the line. It was well worth the wait! It's awesome and with my soap bar pickup, it sings!! The D28 is the best buy for your buck!!!

absolutely!!! 😎 i bought my 2019 d28 in 2020, right before the huge increase of price here in europe, and it is a fantastic guitar, sounding and looking and feeling great to unbelievable... it really makes me happy everyday...

Thanks for sharing that with us, gentlemen. It’s a guitar I wouldn’t pick up because I couldn’t afford it, but got to listen to it here on your Channel. No “trust” rod means you’d want to know a good luthier and I’m sure there were more around in 1937. Thanjj k s again for presenting it to us.

I love the Martin Dreds. Would have one if they were not so big for me. A D-28 for sure. 🎸🎸🎸

As always, top content. You may want to get a gold or silver reflector to lighten-up some of those shadows. :=)

Is there any other difference between aged and non aged since both are VTS? There is a 1,000 dollar difference in price and makes me wonder if the aged model comes with more than just an aged appearance to justify the extra 1k? Don’t want to miss out in case there is more - thanks!

I happened to be in Gruhn's 14 years ago and saw a D-28 hanging there that was marked 'Custom.' The sales rep said George Gruhn liked the specs of the 1937 Martin D-28 and asked Martin to make guitars to that spec, which he would sell at his store. This was one of those, and for the low price of $3,200, which is about what a current HD-28 goes for. A great deal. Whether Martin liked the idea so much that they began producing 28V and other torrified models, or George's request was part of a trend they were seeing, who knows. But my Adirondack top custom D-28 is a keeper no doubt. The tone is simply stunning.

I think that guitar sounds perfect, wouldn't change a thing, except the price 🤣

At 80 yrs old I might need a neck reset too ! ! 🤣😆🤣🎸🎸🎸🎸

I own an authentic 1941 from 2013 non VTS beautiful guitar!!!!

It sounded just slightly out of tune to my ears, but I probably don't hear as good as I once did..

How is the feel comparison? Does this one feel a little better to play? Sound is hard to differentiate but I know also the feel while playing may be a little better? Otherwise if not feel or sound diff I like my new guitars new. Thanks for any info you can share….

It sounds like a full band. Jeeeezz.

What strings are on it in the review?

It must be getting cold down there judging by your clothes'. Keep on doing your reviews. I think they are the best in the USA!

Would like to see comparison between this and the red label Yamaha

You would hope so. It's twice the price.

Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 Aged One available £6,499.00. Almo sold out $8,999.00

I'd put my D-18 with sinker mahogany up against it ;-) Now the next one to buy for me is an om-28 authentic 🙂

Nah. I've owned sinker. Almost the same as regular mahogany man. Just a little bit denser

that guitar looks feather light, don't ask me how I can tell.

Sounds a good deal… searching for the Buy Now Goat Later button.

Great guitar but I think the D35 is a slightly better choice.

When you said trade sheep I looked at my wife she said No lol

$10k after tax. Ouch….. still great sounding tho!

Nice, but no thanks. I'll stick to my D41 Amber. 🙂Most beautiful instrument I've ever played.

$9,000.00?

I thought the guy on the right was Luke Combs

I have the non aged version it's the best guitar I've ever owned. I briefly owned a used version of the aged version it's well made but the aging looks fake. I own a real 1950's martin and there is no mistaking what is real and what is a guitar wearing a costume. Get the non aged.

Lol the haters in the comments because they can't afford it. I'm sorry but a regular d18 isn't touching this guitar.

I dont' know, it sounds pretty modern, like it's missing the midrange.

Certain guitar manufacturers are very tuned in now to customer segmentation, realising there is a certain segment willing to hand over a large chunk of change for relatively superficial things, like aging. This is an "authentic" 1937 model in a sense of "well, not _really_ authentically from 1937, which seems at least a little disingenuous. This guitar actually sounded a bit funky to me, like it wasn't well tuned. Not for me. If I had thousands burning a hole in my pocket, I'd get a Yamaha FG9 and save myself 5 grand.

CF Martin guitars are the biggest case of the emperor's new clothes I ever saw.

Nonsense

I own Ten acoustic guitars and i love them all,But Taylor and Martin guitars are way overpriced i will not be buying anymore,There charging more for extremely cheaper materials its a huge rip off in my opinion, Taylor made the 816ce cheaper made than my 2015 and don't sound near as good,The same with my 2018 814ce DLX the new ones are no way built as good now.Martin you can have all of them i have a good Martin guitar but the new ones are a big disappointment at least all the new ones I've played.Martin has be overrated for years and ive owned twelve Martin guitars.

I don't know... my D18 is much better... it is the perfect acoustic gitbox for certain.

JP Cormier for the win. He is so right. Martin have really lost it. Let's make a worn guitar,leave out the arguably best modern guitar upgrade of a rod,and let's charge a shithouse full of money for it. A Boucher with even BETTER woods for half the price will destroy this instrument. Sorry just my South African 2cents....! Great work though on the demo gents.

All that yapping yup yup yup and you got this amazing guitar and you don’t tune it It’s out of tune

I don`t understand why anyone would be willing to pay more to receive less. Makes no sense.

if you live in a perfect climate, or have guitar humidor for most of the time, you won't miss a trussrod... if not, you'll find out pretty sure why it became a standard...🥸
