Stunning Rich Robinson (Black Crowes) Custom Signature Edition D-28 in mint condition. A guitar player’s dream, and the first model Martin has ever made as a visual and sonic representation of an artist’s personal instrument.

The instrument that served as its inspiration is a 1954 D-28 that was handed down from Robinson’s father, and has been used by Rich to write most of the original Black Crowes’ songs.

This soulful representation of that beloved guitar is crafted with an Aged satin-finished East Indian rosewood for the back and sides and an Aged Sitka spruce top that is finished with a very thin vintage gloss. The ageing is stunning, it's covered in lacquer checking which looks incredible as it catches the light, and it looks and feels authentically 'vintage'.

It also features rearward-shifted non-scalloped bracing, which offers a very balanced tone and added volume. It includes some 1950s style vintage build characteristics, like Martin’s signature dovetail neck joint, authentic hide glue construction, an ebony fingerboard and bridge, and Aged nickel tuners. Another custom feature requested by Robinson is a bridge with the wings slightly softened for comfort. It has a 1 11/6" nut width, taller frets which make it easy to play, and the neck is chunky but super-comfortable, filling the hand perfectly.

Guitar World's 5-star review of this guitar said 'it has a powerful and complex voice whilst being balanced tone and crisp. It has a mellower shimmer with a defined bass response that sounds big and present without being muddy. In fact it’s so detailed that they had to check it against other marquee acoustics which sounded puny in comparison'. Here at Jordan Guitars, it's quite simply one of the best sounding acoustics we've ever stocked.

The model includes a specially designed label that is hand-signed by Robinson, and numbered in sequence - this being number 109 ever made. It comes complete with its original hard case and its paperwork.
