Martin D-28 CVR Elvis Presley Special Edition
Brand New Demo Model!

Here for sale is the Special edition Elvis Presley D-28. For die-hard
Elvis fans this could be the ultimate piece of memorabilia, for guitar
players, it's just another great example of their phenomenal
craftsmanship and attention to detail. For starters this is a great
sounding guitar. It's big and bold with tremendous low end and very
even response. The Carpathian Spruce responds a lot like Adirondack but
with a little different voicing on the high end. It's a great top wood
for a strummer but would be well suited for other playing styles.
This is a brand new guitar but has been on display (out of reach) in our showroom for a few months. It is in perfect mint condition! Please feel free to give us a call if you have any questions about this
truly unique Martin!

About D-28 Elvis Presley Special Edition:

While best known for his singing, Elvis' guitar playing served him
well, especially in the early years of his career. His pulsing,
rhythmic strumming was featured on many of his early recordings and on
stage in the mid-1950s, when Martin was his guitar. He began with a
used 000-18 in 1954, but within months had traded it in for a 1942
Martin D-18. The next year he got a 1955 D-28; fitted with a
custom-tooled leather cover with his name across the lower bout, it
became perhaps his most recognized acoustic due to the many Elvis
concert photos in which it appears.

A Martin also was Elvis' main acoustic at the end of his career. He
played a mid-1970s D-28 during his last concert tour and it was the
last guitar he played on stage in June of 1977. The instrument was
packed and ready to go back out on the road with Elvis when he died on
August 16, 1977; it now resides in the collection at Graceland.

In tribute to Elvis Presley on the 30th anniversary of his passing -
also, coincidentally, the 175th anniversary of the Martin Guitar
Company - Martin is excited to offer two exceptional commemorative
edition guitars fit for the King and his legion of fans.
