Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: A neck reset was performed to restore proper neck angle and action. The Bridge was reshaped. No further work was needed.
This Martin D-28M Mamas and the Papas Guitar (15/100) is a rare, inspiring dreadnought built for players and collectors who want legendary Martin tone with true limited-edition prestige. Its Carpathian spruce top delivers bold projection and crisp articulation, while Madagascar rosewood back and sides add deep low-end warmth and shimmering overtones. Elegant touches like the abalone rosette, ivoroid binding, and ebony fingerboard and bridge give it timeless vintage style. This is a powerful, stage-ready acoustic that feels like a lifelong companion—and a smart investment in a genuinely special Martin.
