Vintage 1948 Martin 00028 guitar. SN:104849. Guitar Database. Sitka Spruce top.

Here is a nice example of a postwar 00028. It has a narrower 1 11/16″ nut and sitka spruce over Brazilian rosewood with the shorter scale length. This guitar has had some work performed on it listed below. However, it still remains a good example of a post war 00028.

Repairs: 
1. Top oversprayed
2. 2 top cracks [repaired]
3. Replacement bridge
4. Replacement pickguard
