A rare Martin 000-28 LD Lonnie Donegan Signature model, built in 2002 as a limited run of just 72 guitars. This example is number 36 and remains in excellent condition, showing minimal wear for its age.
Built to Martin’s traditional 000 specs, it features a solid Sitka spruce top with figured Indian rosewood back and sides, scalloped 5/16" bracing, and a high-gloss 1935-style sunburst finish. Unique inlays reference Donegan’s legacy, including “SKIFFLE” in pearl, a crown on the 3rd fret, and his name at the upper register. The headstock features a gold foil Martin logo, a Water Rat emblem, and G.O.W.R. pearl inlay. Hardware includes gold Grover tuners, and purfling is a blend of Style 28 and 45.
A well-balanced and detailed rosewood 000, this is a rare and well-preserved signature model that comes complete with its original Martin hard case.
Theis guitar has been given a full service by our luthiers at the Vintage Instrument Workshop, and includes a 2 year warranty.
