Hi festivarians, been a long time since I’ve posted here. I own the 2010 Martin HD 28 built by Martin for the TBF with “Telluride Bluegrass Festival 2010” inlay. It’s a very fine guitar and I have played it, written songs on it, gigged all over with it (my band was in the TBF band competition in 2008, and it’s in great shape but I’m looking to let it go and I have no real idea what it’s worth. I know what an HD28 goes for in a shop of course but not this particular guitar since it’s one of a kind. Has anyone ever seen one of the TBF HD28’s on here and if so, what they are worth?
I think I’m going to call Telluride Music Company and see what they say as well, but I thought I’d post on this board first and see if anyone had any feedback. Thanks I’m advance for any feedback!
There is a forum somewhere on this board for guitars where you should probably post this instead of here.
You can certainly call Telluride Music if you desire. What I would do, however, to start, would be to contact Martin. They could tell you if it was a limited run, just how many of those were made, or if it is unique. This can affect the value. The main difference between the HD28 and D28 is the bracing inside, in back of the top. The HD28 has scalloped bracing, meaning some of the bracing wood frames have been scalloped out, making it lighter and improving the tone. That being said, you should probably move your post before it gets deleted, since this is not the place for this discussion.
Billy, I would agree if he just wanted to talk about the guitar. But he’s selling a guitar. That’s the difference. We don’t allow posts that are selling tickets here either.
Usually Telluride Tom deletes or moves these posts pretty quick. He must not be reading them. :cheers
