1950 Martin D-28

[SeeMick]

Thank you for treating my dad's guitar with such care!
I watched the video with him and he was very impressed and happy to see it brought back to the way it should be.

And Sunday is complete with a Twoodfrd video! 😀

I have a 1954 D-28 that was mis treated at the folklore center in NYC under the direction of Mark Silber, who had an excellent reputation at the time, but who may have handed it off to one of his apprentices. I will never know. It was subsequently worked on by two other luthiers both correcting mistakes made there. It is wonderful to see your careful knowledgeable work. Very inspiring. Keep it up. 🙏

That D-28 sounds just as good as I remember. A friend's father had one. What a beautiful tone. Thanks for showing us the proper way they are cared for.

Like a physician, you treat nobility and peasantry equally.

Ahhh. My Sunday relaxation video. Thanks, Ted!

[stevenkarnisky]

What wonderful sound from that Martin. You find the subtle problems; then you invent subtle solutions, Ted. I am impressed.

[YeOldeFarte]

thought for a second he was going to bust out the closer to the heart intro on that first one... msterful work as always TW.

Remember that leaving a comment helps Ted's YouTube algorithm. He's worth it.

I have a 67' D-28 and now have learned so much more about it, thanks

[damnperrys]

WOW! What a beautiful job with the Martin! Thank you so much for sharing.

[hokehinson]

Yeah thats one sweet sounding martin...but only because you my friend had the talent to bring that sound to fruition.
😊

Where else can you find such a true honest and professional channel? And then you add the meticulous attention to detail, next level craftsmenship as well as the amazing guitar history lessons. Just simply unbeatable!!

A 1982 Yamaha 350D is a very impressive imitation of this classic Martin. Indeed, the highest compliment is imitation. I own not only one, but three! The sound and playability is out of this world!

[robertgriffin]

The D28 sounds splendid...
Nicely done..
Thank you.

I'm an aspiring builder. I've built 5 guitars so far. I use dual action truss rods simply for easy of manufacture. Stright flat channels are a cake walk compared to the curved ones. In each case I always make an effort to explain this(and truss rods in general) to the player so 1)they don't crank it too far in either direction and 2)if they take it somewhere else for a setup they can give the repair tech a heads up. Great video as always Ted. Keep em coming!!

This was a fun one with a few things I'd never seen done before.

That veneer looks like a home-job veneer sticker. Pretty sure the protege cedars are solid tops with a sun burst that more closely matches the sides. Definitely not a factory job.

Thanks for the vids! Love watching your work.

[davidl.turner]

“A bluegrass cannon” for sure. Great work!

[jimmeltonbradley]

In my view, this is the best jumbo acoustic ever. The sound they produce is just perfect.
