Following in the spirit of the Golden Era series, C. F. Martin
proudly introduces the Marquis Series.
The first models in the series, the
D-28 Marquis and D-28 Marquis
Sunburst boast appointments that
mirror Martin's herringbone D-28GE
Golden Era model, with the exception
that the Brazilian rosewood sides, back
and headplate used on the Golden Era
models are being replaced with select
East Indian rosewood.
In keeping with vintage pre-war
Style 28 specifications, both models
continue to utilize Adirondack red
spruce for the soundboards and internal
bracing.
The D-28 Marquis Sunburst
features a 1935 style sunburst finish.
