C.F. Martin HD-28VS

There's just something about 12 fret, wideneck slotheads that's "right".   And when it's a Martin HD-28VS it's VERY right.  The sitka spruce top, herringbone binding and rosewood back/sides make a slope shouldered D body that just pumps out the tone.  Bone saddle and nut, of course.  The 12 fret neck with snowflake MOP inlays is 1-3/4 inch wide at the nut and tops off with a beautiful slotted headstock sporting Waverly open gear tuners.  Beyond the stunning good looks, this vintage series model has a very big sound, yet can be as delicate as a feather if the call arises.  All things considered, this is truly a candidate for "the best" status.
