It should be noted that the ebony bridge on this guitar was replaced with a rosewood bridge which has since cracked through the pin holes. This has presented no problems. The saddle has not been lowered therefore the action can be adjusted to the players taste. D. Watson

:D This 1954 Martin D-28 is now in the process of getting the correct EBONY bridge instaled. Also being
checked for neck reset. All of this may call for a price increase. :!: D.Watson

Since this guitar was first put up for sale, Norm
Kidwell, aka tenstrings has passed away. This guitar
now has the correct Martin ebony bridge as well as a
new Martin pickgard. The neck has been reset and the
bridge plate replaced. All of the above work was performed by a certified Martin repairman. The old bridge pins as well as the old pickgard and rosewood
bridge are included with the guitar. The price is now
$10,000.00 shiped in the lower 48. Dave Watson

Contacted D Watson, asked if he still had the D-28 up for sell, emailed me back promptly, that he still had it and was for sale. I then emailed back asking for additional details and questions regarding the repairs and possible info regarding the top. No reply. Sent an additional similar email, No Reply again. Whats up? I thought maybe it's my internet as I was out of country at the time so tried one last time, NO REPLY. Since then I've purchased 2 additional 40's and a 50 D-28's, this 1954 could have possibly been one of them for the right price and a little communication. Sorry but that is not good business least of all a way to sell the box.

yesterday sorting through 1500 plus emails that had piled up. Didn't find anything from Tim Gleeson. If he or anyone else is still interested in this Martin
D28 please contact me for as far as I know I am here for a while--------- anyway. :( :( :( :( I don't recall just where Tim and I were in our conversation.
Hopefully my email will function as it should.
