Wow! That should be worth a fortune. Tell your friend not to set that guitar down on the ground like that. That makes me nervous. Joe

Jeez, talk about time capsule condition. Gorgeous! Hank Risan/The MOMI sold a very very clean D-28 ('48?) a few months back, if I recall correctly it sold for $20,000. No reason this one shouldn't be...

You can't claim never played and be able to tell someone how it sounds too

Super sweet -- let us know how it sounds when he finally plays it. Surely you couldn't resist?

Tony Williamson from NC sold a guitar just like this one with the same description. I believe it was a 1949 D-28 also and had all the case candy with it. Zane

Aahhh, forget it. That Brazilian rosewood has no figure at all! It'll be interesting to get a report on how this guitar sounds. If it really hasn't been played, then it's an interesting case study in...

If this guitar had a shelf life, it would be sad. There are thousands of years of people to come who might never have seen what a new 1940's D-28 looks like... I'm happy for them.The unfortunate part...

A guitar like that should be played. I can't imagine why someone would own a D-28 of any year and not play it. It makes no sense. '62 D-28; '65 D-12-35; '66 00-21; '67 D-35;

Given the time it has survived in this condition, I say let it be what it is, I know with some pickin' it'd sound just great...I wonder what the "naysayers" would come up with if they saw a genuine AC...

Quote:The unfortunate part is that this guitar will likely never be played. It's not so much about reducing the sales price. It will just be too valuable as a museum piece - a pristine example of what...
