I actually just tried to get some helpful pics of the back and sides but they all end up being reflections of things in my house with a vaguely guitar shaped  outline :-/ 

Not sure re fret size/shape - but the neck is certainly a bit fuller than the current production regular D/HD necks but not the same as a frankly odd 'modified V' they do

Frets closeup if that helps

The back is actually quite dark - seems.lighter in that pic

Lovely grain in the back wood

The one on the RIGHT here is the same guitar when I was in the shop - the other one is the same model, year or 2 older. This is a better representation of how dark the back is - the one I didn't buy was unusually (imo) light - but gorgeous for it

The left one looks light like Brazilian rosewood, the one on the right as you say is the more traditional look for a D28/HD28. Did you check the one on the left, was it Brazilian?

Oh...and we can see you, hiding behind the stool in the reflection, you weirdo.

Both Madagascan, both D28 Authentic 41

What this thread needs is a nicely recorded sound clip, so we can all bask in the sonic glory of this rare beast. : >

Were the bells a factory-fitted option?

I given to understand they are attached to the toes if the angels who perpetually circumnavigate one's head whilst playing a good D28.

These are great guitars. Just as a head's up for those in the market for a D28 Authentic 1941, GuitarGuitar have one in their sale at the moment for £4999. That's the cheapest I think I've seen one new in recent years.

That is a good price.
There's a chance it's a pre-torrefaction spec one so.if that's important to someone check first

What type of Martin strings are you using on your 28 ?

TimmyO

Martin Authentic 13s - same as it came with - love the sound and plays well
