Sound Pure's Take

This is a very well cared for HD-28VS from 2007. The 12 fret Dread from Martin is known as the "banjo killer". The sound is massive! The setup is really good with nice medium to low action. No buzzes anywhere. There are no scratches, dings, or repairs to speak of. A great way to get into one of these guitars at a discount!
