Martin Custom Shop North Street Edition D-28 Herringbone - Acoustic Guitar

Description

This is a Custom shop run. 1 of only 30 produced.
Adirondack Spruce top, East Indian Rosewood back and sides and Mahogany neck.
Made for the UK and Ireland market.

Purchased just short of a year ago, the Martin North Street is a nod to the old d28's of the 30's, when they were built in the North Street Factory in Nazareth PA.

*There's a Video of me playing the guitar attached to this advert.

It's incredibly present, even, and alive. A great all-rounder guitar.
I put a new set of D'addario XS strings on it, and it sounds fabulous.
It has a similar projection to the D28 Brazilian Rosewood Martin Golden Era that I used to own a while back. The modern low profile neck profile is comfortable to play.

I’ve recently purchased a bespoke-made Boucher guitar, which is likely to be my primary instrument, thus the sale of this guitar. Having said this, I am still slightly torn about letting it go. It’s a fine guitar.

The Martin is in absolutely mint condition and comes in a nicely fitting
5 Ply Geib Hardshell case. Retails at £5K. It's a beauty!

It also comes with a nicely designed wallet, detailing the North Street historical reference and Martin Guitar official provenance.
You could make a substantial saving and grab an 'as new' guitar.

By all means come and try it out for yourself over a cup of tea.
If you're interested, contact me via Gumtree mail.

Thanks for viewing.
