A Bluegrass champion has risen, just in time for the holidays! And it comes to us straight from the hands of a Bluegrass legend, Mr. Tim Stafford of Blue Highway Fame. This 1946 Martin D-28 of Stafford's has been one of his staple guitars for quite a long time, and now you have the opportunity to add it to your arsenal, instead. Featuring the kind of straight-grained Brazilian Rosewood that was then an industry standard (and now is all but impossible to find) and a darkly sunburst Sitka Spruce top, this D-28 is a jaw-dropper. This kind of vigorous, muscular tone, you know it's a Bluegrass machine, with clean highs and a low-end that is big, but controlled. Almost 70 years old, this working relic plays like it's 20, and is set up for Bluegrass-style attack. With all that bark, you'd think it was a three-headed dog--take one bite, and you won't like the taste of anything else. According to Wayne Henderson, this guitar was retopped by Martin in the late 40s, when it was still a baby, so the top has been played in and fully opened up since then. This D-28 is true vintage, and bears the marks of musicmaking with pride.

Beautiful! 
Most of the guitars that you offer for sale here are much too exotic for my taste, but this is one that I think I could learn to live with. Price looks fair, too.
One small request, though: Smaller photos, please.
