D28 Marquis

Marquis magnificent!!

Tried them all...this is the one. Super complex sound. Great for strumming,

fingerpicking and flat picking. 37 and 41 authentic is the only one that came

close. I found a special one! Played several of these Marquis and they were all

different sounding. Nice people at Guitarsofchina allowed me to play several of

these 28 series guitars until I found the one. Great knowledgable staff. I

couldn't pass up the burst in this Marquis model, it is incredibly beautiful, and

the workmanship is bar none. I play this in a room and it turns heads

immediately... It's that good. Thanks to Dave Walent for his assistance and

patience with me. Take your time and find that special Martin for you, it is all

worth it in the end. D28 Marquis will not disappoint!!

If you want a full throated guitar, one that can hold its own against anything,

this is THE guitar for you! Seriously! I jam with an Old Time group, lots of fiddle

players of varying ability, and this guitar can "sing" above ALL of them, but does

not overpower the others. This guitar not only sounds beautiful, but looks

beautiful, too. From time to time, the other jammers like to try her out and they,

too, are blown away by her "voice". As she has aged, her voice just keeps

getting richer! Worried about the price, but have never regretted paying it.
