If you're searching for a guitar that captures the look, feel, and tone of an instrument lovingly played for decades, the D-28 Authentic 1937 Aged is the one. Crafted with inspiration from the iconic 1937 model, this guitar brings together Martin's signature craftsmanship, historical design, and advanced materials. Part of Martin’s Authentic Series, it features hide glue construction and meticulous hand-scalloped X-bracing, ensuring both durability and rich resonance.

Adding to its timeless quality, the D-28 Authentic 1937 Aged includes Martin's VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS), a process that naturally ages the wood to evoke the warmth and character of a vintage Martin guitar. Martin’s artisans have carefully refined the body profile, drawing from the early dreadnought shapes of Martin's Golden Era, for an even closer connection to the brand's storied past.

With this model, you get not only the stunning visual nuances of an aged guitar but also the unmistakable, full-bodied tone of a true classic. Each strum takes you back to the 1930s, letting you experience a soundscape with depth, character, and a touch of nostalgia. Once you play it, you’ll see why the D-28 Authentic 1937 Aged is an instrument you'll want to keep coming back to.
