Martin Dan Tyminski D-28 Custom Edition
From the Martin Company:
For many years, Dan's primary guitar has been a wellworn 1946 Martin D-28. However, his concerns about continuing to take his "go-to" instrument on the road and his desire for a Dreadnought designed to meet his personal needs brought Dan and the Martin Guitar Company together to create the new Martin D-28 Dan Tyminski Custom Edition.
"I am very excited to be involved with Martin," Tyminski noted. "This is surely the biggest honor of my career."
The Martin D-28 Dan Tyminski Custom Edition showcases all the power and panache that have made Martin Dreadnoughts the definitive bluegrass guitar. Back and sides of East Indian rosewood combine with a top of Adirondack spruce for warm, ringing tone, impressive projection and extraordinary headroom. A comfortable genuine mahogany 1 11/16" (at the nut) "modified V" neck with long diamond volute contributes to player comfort, while the black ebony fingerboard and belly bridge add classic beauty and longevity.
Tyminski makes his namesake Custom Edition his own with distinctive details sure to appeal to flatpickers. Scalloped 5/16" Adirondack spruce top braces cross in the non-forward "rear-shifted" position to provide uncommon balance and clarity. Special 2 1/4" string spacing at the bridge and hand polished "bull nose" (i.e., rounded) fret ends speed both strums and runs.
