Very good lookin! What model? New? Used? Old?

New. Like straight outta Nazareth off the production line in 2025 new. 000-28, just the normal standard modern model with whatever all the new "updates" are, lol!

I love anything that's old time sunburst with an ebony board, saw it posted new that day and I just turned into a consumer bot. I know there's all sorts of variations on the models but I didn't give it any thought, just zeroed in on it. That Martin volute too? I'm just a sucker for that look.

I went and did something controversial....

These seem to be love hate (OK maybe more like hate hate?) but honestly it's such a good, practical guitar. I play acoustic live in a large band and have issues with feedback on stage (even with a soundhole cover). This sounds just as good live and is so comfortable to play. it's also pretty cool to just play around the house because of the contours on the body and the mid-volume sound it puts out acoustically. This is the US version with the extra transducer pickup which makes a difference to the plugged in tone.

Always changung.
Some quick shots, I never even dusted it.
A 1981 Explorer CMT curly maple top. It is rare to see a nice Explorer with beautiful grain and color these days. I couldn't resist.
DiMarzio Super Distortions, Kahler bridge. Neck is a bit chunkier than I am used to but it's still just a guitar.
Heavy bugger too. Really good shape, just a bit of worming on the back and lovely flame maple neck.
