For your consideration Garrett Park Guitars presents this 1938 Martin D-28.

The pre-war Martin D-28 Herringbone, or Bone as it is affectionately named, is one of the most sought after acoustic guitars in the world. Legendary for its power and projection and long on tone and sustain. 
This guitar has the wide nut and is an early 1938 owing to the close proximity of the bracing to the sound hole. It also displays the tool marks used to cut the Brazilian Rosewood back & sides.
