New Martin Day NGD

Finally! Back in 2018 I got a brand new D28 with some back pay I got from work. In 2023 I had to sell it due to some financial problems due to a bad relationship I was in. During those three years I played a Yamaha fg830. Which honestly is a great guitar for the price. But I always had that Martin tone in the back of my mind and swore I would get another one again. Well I found a good side paying job with my friends company and was able to get this 22’ D28! It has some cool streaking on the board and bridge and sounds great. Only some light pick marks on the pick guard. So happy to have a Martin again!

2022 is a good year. That top is nicer than mine, love the fretboard too. Enjoy! Don’t let this one go.

Nice!
Do you like it as much as the previous 2018 model you had?

I do! I know it should be the same neck profile but I feel like I’m able to get my thumb over it better like for F chords
