| This is the most intelligent guitar series
to come out of Martin in some time. Take all of the revered
features of the early dreadnoughts, Adirondack top, scalloped
forward shifted braces, ivory nut and saddle, herringbone top
trim, meaty soft-V neck and put them on an Indian rosewood guitar
to keep the price realistic!
This is the first of this model to
come into Canada and if it is any indication, these Martin D-28 Marquis
guitars are here to stay. This is definitely not just 'eye candy'.
This guitar has an absolutely crushing attack transient and killer projection!
I can't even imagine what this will sound like when it is played in!!!
