The D-28 John Lennon is the follow up to the D-28 John Lennon 75th Anniversary limited edition model, commemorating John’s 75th birthday. A solid Sitka spruce top with Vintage Tone System is combined with East Indian rosewood back and sides – the back being inlaid with a peace sign. The East Indian rosewood headplate is adorned with John Lennon’s famous self-portrait

illustration that rests beneath the Martin script logo. A beautiful mother-of-pearl, John Lennon themed design is inlaid on the ebony fingerboard to complete this model.

* The new Martin Vintage Tone System (VTS) uses a unique recipe that is based on the historic torrefaction system. The VTS system acts much like a time machine in which Martin can target certain time periods and age the top/braces to that era.
